Crafted Thresholds: The Writing and Reading World of Tom Turner
Dear Visitor,
Welcome to my site. I’m Tom, and this space is dedicated to exploring the core of how we live and adapt. It's a place where I take the messy, complicated realities of life—the things that feel clumsy—and try to find the hidden choreography within them.
My writing is driven by two main questions: How can we better care for each other, and how do our stories help us manage the everyday challenges of being human? I focus heavily on themes of neurodiversity, adaptive living, and finding quiet meaning in the simple, often repeated rituals of routine. I aim to offer writing that feels like a place of shelter—something that speaks to your own experience without telling you what to think.
If you are interested in the power of instinct and physical experience, or if you believe that narrative can be a form of support and care, you're in the right place.
Here are a few specific places on the site you might find compelling:
If you are looking for stories about healing and physical change: I recommend "The Geometry of Healing." This psychological story explores the emotional reality of a man who suddenly recovers from a life-long neurological block.
- If you are interested in care, routine, and parenting: Check out "The Cloakroom Ballet," a meditation on the subtle, often overlooked dance of everyday attachment and parenting. 
- If you prefer darker narratives that tackle modern isolation and ideology: Read "Julian," a chilling story that follows a young man's descent into the online 'manosphere' after a traumatic incident. 
- If you want to see challenges reframed as narrative support: Look to "Checkpoints," which explores an inventive system a mother uses to help her son manage daily behaviour and transitions. 
Feel free to click around and find what resonates. This site is here to start a conversation, and I’m genuinely glad you’ve stopped by.
Warmly,
Tom

A meticulous scholar obsessed with achieving perfection through dark magic has left a trail of disappeared victims across Victorian London. As he prepares his final, most powerful ritual, a rational detective follows an impossible pattern of evidence that challenges everything he believes about reality. When their paths collide, logic confronts the supernatural in a desperate race to stop a man who has discovered that reality itself can be reshaped—at a terrible cost. A psychological dark fantasy where obsession, horror, and investigation intertwine in the shadowy streets of a city hiding ancient secrets.
