Many thanks to NetGalley & Ninestar Press for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I do not typically read short stories, so this was something very different for me. I was looking for something creepy & spooky, and the description and cover of this book caught my eye.
For me, the first two stories (The Door and The Boy at the Gate) were the strongest, but unfortunately I did not care for the others. What I liked: The Door has a unique Twilight Zone feel, and The Boy at the Gate has a very old fashioned ghost story feel. What I did not like: The remaining stories then venture too far into the bizarre, macabre, and gross for my liking.
That said, all stories are original and very different.

I normally don't read supernatural and/or horror fiction, but I'm glad I read this collection. The novellas and short stories in it are written beautifully, with fine attention to language and psychology, plus - as is usual with these genres - the plot is strong and enticing. My very favorites were the first two: The Door and The Boy by the Gate, but they all good in their own ways. Some are more fabulist, whereas in others the realistic component is stronger.

★★★☆☆ The Door
★★☆☆☆ The Boy at the Gate
DNF☆☆ In the Dark
DNF☆☆ The Long Lonely Road
★★☆☆☆ Light in Her Eyes
DNF☆☆ Haunting Matilda
The first story was by far the best and also longest in this collection so maybe the author just needed to flesh them out a little bit more to get them to a higher level, but then again In the Dark and Light in Her Eyes in particular had me pulling the most hilarious 'what the hell am I reading' faces so I'm not sure anything could have saved them for me. The few other reviewers so far seem to enjoy this book so it might just be me, but I apart from the first story I did not find any of them engaging or remotely scary [beyond some surface level shock value in a few places] and the writing style was oddly juvenile in places. Unfortunately this was just largely a miss for me.

The Door and other Uncanny Tales is a collection of short spooky stories. Although I don't prefer reading short stories, I requested this book for its scary content. The first story - The Door, is the spookiest of them all after which it starts to go downhill.
.
It concerns with an artist Orestes, who paints a life-size painting of a door and then one night, while he is alone, finds that door open. This was a quiet horror sort, which I like, slowly building up the atmosphere. The next story - The Boy by the Gate is also okay, spooky to some extent but after that it descends into gory horror which I don't like. I finished the rest of the stories but it didn't deliver the scares as I thought.
.
'Haunting Matilda' and 'In the Dark' deals with child abuse and are really graphic which I personally don't like. All in all, I didn't enjoy this collection.
Thanks to @netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

As always I’ll review the stories individually then average the scores out!
The Door: 4/5
A deliciously creepy premise. A man paints a life size door, then starts to hear noises from behind it. Soon it does exactly what a door does—it opens. And the man has to contend with what’s on the other side.
The Boy by the Gate: 4/5
Short and sweet. A young woman sees a little boy in a graveyard and makes the fatal mistake of drawing his attention. Masterfully handled and the perfect ghost story to tell at a sleepover!
In the Dark: 3/5
Features our main guy from the first story but as a boy. I really enjoyed the plot but I wish it hadn’t ended so abruptly—it felt like a story that had just started rather than its own complete telling. A young boy ends up going to a cottage that has horrors within.
The Long Lonely Road: 4/5
Short and sweet, surprisingly. We see a few ghosts and learn the sad story of their visit once a year.
Light in Her Eyes: 1/5
This felt very much like the author telling us their opinion about abortions and nothing else.
Haunting Matilda: 3/5
I’m not sure how I feel about this last one. It’s definitely dark and twisted, which pretty much guarantees it’ll stick in my head a long time. Did I enjoy it? Not really—it was a little gross. Anything with children being taken advantage of in this manner is off putting for me. But I admit it kept my interest.
So overall the average rating I got for this is 3.16 rounded to 6. All in all I really enjoyed the stories and I think there’s some solidly creepy material here.

The Door- 2.5/5
The Boy at the Gate- 2/5
In the Dark- 2/5
The Long and Lonely Road-1.5/5
Light in Her Eyes 2/5
Haunting Matilda- 2/5
The Door was the best out of all of them, though it was a bit repetitive and kind of confusing. The others I just didn't care about and overall didn't like the writing style.

I loved these spooky stories! Got this as an arc from Netgalley, and now I'll definitely keep this author on my radar. The writing was REALLY good, not just the stories, but also the writing in itself. Many times I paused my reading and thought "that was really clever" or "that was really beautifully written". My favorite stories: The Door, Haunting Matilda & Light In Her Eyes
CW: These stories contain some descriptions that might be triggering or disturbing to some people. There are specific trigger warnings in the beginning of the book.

This is a short story collection that was so chilling and creepy. It was ultimately satisfying and I enjoyed dipping in and out of the stories. I feel like each story was more horrific than the next. The first story The Door is almost half the book and had this sense of impending doom with a door that torments the main character Orestos. It was chilling and memorable. The Boy By the Gate was a ghost story that was macabre and atmospheric. In the Dark was so chilling in its sadism and depiction of the undercover world of predators in the suburbs. My favourite story of the collection was The Long Lonely Road with its twist ending. Light in Her Eyes was difficult to read, but also beautiful in its optimism. Haunting Matilda was the most horrific story of the collection and the one that I will find the hardest to push from my mind. Kakmi is a masterful writer and this short story collection was a joy and terror to read. The writing is so visceral and the stories are truly haunting.

First of all, thank you very much to the publisher and NetGalley for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
My true rating for this collection of short stories would be 3.5 stars, but I bumped it to 4 to counterbalance some of the lower reviews. I'm an avid reader of horror (it's nearly all I read at this point), and while this wasn't a stand-out or anything groundbreaking, I did find it a solid and enjoyable little collection of short horror stories. I enjoyed three of the six stories, with the other three just not being to my taste.
The Door - Enjoyed the quiet, creeping dread of this one. I know that not everyone enjoys this more ambiguous sort of horror, but I very much do. One thing that I really appreciated about this story was that the horror wasn't entirely reliant on the supernatural; it was split between that and the sometimes horrifying mystery of self-identity and the place we hold in other's lives.
The Boy by the Gate - A bit of what could be called a "run of the mill" ghost story, but a fairly fun and effective one nonetheless. It had a sort of old-school vibe to me, with the bulk of the story being read from a letter giving it a bit of that "1950s Victorian horror movie" feel.
In the Dark - Not the worst short story I've ever read, but this one was mostly a miss for me. It seemed like it wasn't fleshed out enough, was a little too bare bones and needed a bit more development; it almost struck me as something I might read on the NoSleep Reddit. I was also initially intrigued that the child in this story seems to be the main character in the first story, but that element ultimately didn’t seem to add anything.
The Long Lonely Road - I love reading horror that is either from other countries than the USA, or that's tinged with different cultural traditions. This one reads almost like a simple folk tale, and is quite sad; I enjoyed it.
Light In Her Eyes - Mm, not a fan of this one. Seemed a bit too... preachy. It's one thing to explore grief and trauma related to a subect like this, but some of the language used, as well as the set up and conclusion, seemed a bit too "rah, rah, pro-life!" for me. Unsure if that was the author's intention, but really disappointing nonetheless.
Haunting Matilda - Lovecraftian horror is my favorite, but this was another miss for me. A bit too schlocky and "B-movie edgelord" for my tastes.

I've had a weird hankering for horror recently (very unlike me) and as I do in times of book need, I turned to NetGalley. Imagine my excitement when I got approved for The Door. I've been obsessed with short stories lately so this collection was perfect.
The Door contained some brand new stories and a couple of previoulsy released tales.
Most of the stories were set in Victoria, which is where I'm from, so it was really cool to read the fantastic descriptions of Melbourne and a couple of other beautiful towns. I will admit, the creepy level was raised because I knew the places that were mentioned. Also there is a warning at the start of the book as some pretty heavy topics are covered, like domestic abuse, child abuse and attempted suicide. Most of these stories are centred around a child, so just a heads up.
As for the stories, they started out strong. The Door was intriguing, creepy and I turned the light on at one point. Note to self, reading horror is not best saved for night time.
"The eye withdrew from the keyhole and, almost instantly, a face appeared in the frosted glass above."
This was the moment I said Get Fucked, and put the book down for five minutes because it scared the shit out of me. Just for clarification, it was a painting, there should have been no one behind the door, it wasn't a real door.
The Door was a deep dive into what it means to be alive, to actively live instead of passively existing. I thought it was a well written, inclusive story, that seemed to dive deep, considering how short the story was.
The collection continued with several beautifully written stories that I found engaging and horrifying. The slow build creep factor was high. I was really glad to have picked this one...
Until I came to the story Light in her Eyes and look, I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt, I tried to figure out if I was reading it the wrong way, but I just couldn't get passed it. I was fucking horrified and kind of disgusted. I was going to share a quote from this one just so I don't have to be the only person whose retinas were burnt, but I decided that wouldn't be fair on any unsuspecting person that reads this. I'm not even going to dive into the last story because there was a scene in it that made sure I would never ever read this author again. Not for me.
Also I feel like I should mention that besides maybe 2 of the stories, I didn't find the others scary.
So overall a couple of really well written stories followed by two stories that were beyond fucked and they tainted the entire collection for me.

Have you ever found yourself completely taken in by a painting? Have you ever felt that you could walk from your world into the world that the artist has painted onto canvas?
Orestes Gallanos is living the life of his dreams with the man he loves. Orestes creates a realistic and haunting oil painting of a door. onto linen With Orestes, we open the door and walk in and discover all that Orestes has forgotten and thought was behind him. He's a troubled man, Orestes. "In The Dark" we meet Orestes again, as a teen and there we learn much more about this troubled man. He's a nice man and we care for him and want him to release his burdens and be free. Orestes wants to be "safe".
The Door and In The Dark were by favorite two stories in this collection. I like learning more about Orestes psyche, but was still left to wonder what was next in both stories. I'd love follow-ups to learn how Orestes managed to get from the pitiful being at the end of In The Dark to the man who opened The Door, and I wonder who ends the story with Simon....is Simon in good hands with a newly confident partner or is danger on the horizon?
The Long, Lonely Road was my other favorite. We often hear of ghost stories in which an event is repeated on schedule. Sometimes this is called a "stone tape". and is thought to be energy recorded on the surroundings that is replayed. In The Long Lonely Road we learn that there is more to this stone tape that a simple recording of energy. The boy and the animals in this tale are delightful and fun.
I enjoyed The Door and Other Uncanny Tales. I love coming across horror that is intelligent and unique. I would honestly love to read more about Orestes. Orestes was a interesting character that I found easy to care about. #Netgalley #TheDoorandOtherUncannyTales

I like horror and I am not scared of reading strong materials. All the opposite, I appreciate authors who dare to go there. I also liked that there is a common atmosphere to all these short stories, and that there is even a character who gets repeated in two of them. The order of the short stories is very important, so I would recommend every potential reader to stick to the order on which the short stories have been published.
The best short story is the first one, The Door, which is also the longest. I was ruling for the main character, and I am ruling now even more because in other short stories I understood everything that he has been through throughout his tough life. I don't want to spoil it here, but I empathised with him, as an artist with no too much success. The aspect of being mentally and psychologically frail has been treated amazingly well by the author.
I liked the description of the painting process and of the paintings themselves. That created a feeling in me of a writer who writes well and that takes care of his craft.
I would recommend it, but I would also advice potential readers about the violent and sexual content. If you don't mind that, give this book a try. It is good.
I read this book through the website NetGalley´s program.

The door and other uncanny tales is written by Dmetri Kakmi who has written about the darker sides of life and classic urban legend ghost stories.
Some of these stories have already been published before but include three new ones so that you can now read them all together.
The stories involve living paintings, ghosts of children, serial killers and haunted houses to name a few. The writing is quick and has easily relatable characters. Some of these made me feel sympathy for characters, dislike towards others. Its a strength to be able to switch up a readers emotions like that.
Some of these stories are not for the faint of heart and include everyday horrors, lives people live and that you know exist, sadly.
I rated this 4 stars on Goodreads. Thank you to Net Galley and NineStar press for the ARC. This is expected to be published on September 28th 2020! If you enjoy short stories, the darker horrors of life and ghost stories give this a go.

First, I want to thank the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this title. Thank you.
I don’t normally write a review for books I don’t care for, but I agreed to write one so here it is.
Short stories often fall flat for me and this book was no different. The first story had a good base but had so much other stuff going on it seemed to lose its way to the punchline so to speak. I know I was lost and found myself uninterested and skipping most of the filler.
After that fiasco, I just could not invest in the rest of the stories. Not even to skim them. Sorry.

The Door and Other Uncanny Tales by Dmetri Kakmi was a beautiful collection of short stories. There are a total of 6 horror tales and overall they are all wonderfully written standalone stories. My favorites were The Door, In the Dark, and Haunting Matilda. These stories were all captivating and I found myself fully immersed in them, which is not easy to do in 30 minutes time. Kakmi is able to create characters whom I actually cared about. Overall, I highly recommended The Door and Uncanny Tales to horror lovers.

This was an intense book, full of strange and sometimes really creepy and not in a good way stories. I really loved two of them, they were the kind of ghost stories that you could read in a campfire. The one with the abortion was really weird, though. And the Matilda one was appaling.
The thing I really liked was all the LGBT characters, it's not common in this kind of stories.

This is a short anthology of chilling ghost stories.
Each story was hauntingly captivating and hypnotic.
My favorite one was Matilda.
Very original, dark and scary ghost stories for your next campfire trip!

This book was.....interesting. Very horror specific and definitely very graphic to the point of being almost difficult to read sometimes. Was never necessarily scary but more so just over the top when it maybe was not totally necessary? Either way not really my cup of tea but well written. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Interesting ghost story for Friday night reading. If something is uncanny, is it mysterious? Strange? Or supernatural?

A good, varied mix of horror stories. This was a solid collection for me and i'd happily read this author again, but unfortunately there were no total stand outs for me here.
