Doorway to Death: An Anthology From the Other Side

by Amanda M. Lyons (editor), John Ledger (editor), Essel Pratt

It is a place where the universe begins and ends, where we begin and end, and deep down within our hearts, where we keep our secrets and imagine our stories, it lives there too. Come, join us at the Doorway to Death, enter and claim your end! From the minds of Essel Pratt, Toneye Eyenot, Roy C. Booth, Axel Kohagan, Kent Hill, Michael Fisher, Coralie Rowe, Brian Barr, Lemmy Rushmore, Michael Noe, D.S.

Reviews

[Andy Peloquin · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I'm not usually a short story collection/anthology reader, but I found this one a pretty fascinating read. Some of the stories were light-hearted and amusing, others cynical and cutting, and still others chilling and creepy. Not every story was perfect, but I enjoyed most of them.

What I liked best about this collection was that the stories were fairly short. As a busy person with limited time to read, it was nice to pick it up and get through a story or two at a time. The shorts held my attention and kept me turning pages, so it's a collection I'd recommend to anyone.

Another Awesome JEA Collection!

Most of us have wondered (some of us more often and in more detail than others) what is "beyond" this life as we know it. Perhaps it will be different for each of us. This brilliant cast of authors will chill you with their alarming (and we hope only speculative) views of the DOORWAY TO DEATH. Be warned ... from talking fetuses to a song of death ... your heart and stomach may skip a beat ... or three ... as you read these stories. After all it's what readers expect from JEA editors Ledger and Lyons!
