"Portals, Gateways, and Doors" - 2024 Anthology (Paperback)
Portals, Gateways, and Doors is a collection of stories where boundaries
blur and the familiar gives way to the unknown. From distant worlds
and hidden dimensions to profound shifts in consciousness, these tales
explore the passageways that lead beyond. Whether through a doorway
to another planet or a portal into the depths of the mind, each story
delves into the transformative power of crossing over—where what
lies ahead is as uncertain as it is inevitable.
Highlights from the anthology include:
“Sterilizing Fluid” by Brian M. Milton: A janitor, a cursed goblin, and an
academic unite to close a dangerous portal unleashed by a failed
experiment, battling monstrous tentacles and red slime to save a
powerful cat and solidify their unlikely alliance.
"Darkness Ends" by Gustavo Bondoni: Tita Livia Siriana's discovery and
Bassam al Aama's archaeological find in Palmyra converge to open a
gateway, unleashing futuristic forces and igniting a dramatic clash
between ancient prophecy and modern technology.
“Parallel Rooms” by Liam Hogan: In a daring twist on real estate, Chris
discovers that his new "parallel-room" apartment leads to multiple
universes, only to find himself trapped in one when a nuclear threat
obliterates his original world.
“The Black Well” by Darin Hlavaz: In The Black Well, the warrior and
adventurer Aaram descends into a perilous, serpent-filled well at the
bequest of a shifty wizard, only to uncover an ancient underground city,
and narrowly escape death at the many hands of a deadly djinn statue.
