"Keene's collection is quietly magnificent. I can think of few things better than spending your time reading his words." -Mercedes M. Yardley, two-time Bram Stoker Award-Winner
A cursed pizzeria. A haunted B-movie legacy. A tycoon's final robotic companion.
Welcome to Gateways to Annihilation-a searing collection of horror short stories that seamlessly fuses right-here-and-right-now themes of war trauma, pandemic stress, religious terrorism, political extremism, cryptozoological mania, and the human hunger for a sudden cleansing apocalypse, while encouraging readers to reach for a bag of movie popcorn in the darkness of the night.
Author Jarret Keene conjures 14 twisted tales where monsters lurk in neon shadows and infernal items hold lives hostage. Whether it's a Japanese war vet trapped inside Hollywood rubber suits, a Vegas comic shop owner stalked by satanic forces, or a billionaire's android nurse with sinister protocols, each story spirals into the uncanny with razor precision. In this collection that melds the nostalgic eeriness of The Twilight Zone with the nihilistic bite of Black Mirror, victims and perpetrators dance in blood-spattered loops of fate. Perfect for fans of weird fiction and supernatural thrillers, Gateways to Annihilation is literary horror with a cult heart.
Will these characters escape the horrors they summon-or are they already lost to the darkness within?
