Gates of Hell Unleashed
(2025)A collection of stories by Nicholas Catron, DJ Cooper, Matthew Hollis Damon, James Harper, Dane Hatchell, Marie Lanza, Catherine McCarthy, Rich Restucci, Brandon Scott and Shane Woods
Part Three of the best-selling Gates of Hell series returns. GATES OF HELL UNLEASHED is a powerhouse horror anthology that throws open the infernal gates and invites readers to journey through the darkest corners of the human soul—and far beyond. Curated by The Fear House, this collection delivers a relentless barrage of chilling, imaginative tales. Twice before in this epoch, the gates of hell have been opened upon the earth to release terrible nightmares, a sly whisper of evil slithering into the very air and permeating the world with decay. For the third time, a crack has appeared between the inferno and our world, and the nights grow blacker as sinister forces slip through, setting right things to wrong, bringing forth the madness of men. Every terror imaginable comes to life as the darkness of the human soul is pulled toward iniquity. It is a time for hellspawn to feed, for the sickly souls to rise out of hiding and show what is buried inside. When you stare too long into the abyss, the abyss may decide to come for you.
Inside, you’ll find psychological terrors and supernatural horrors to dystopian futures and twisted folklore, each entry explores what happens when the boundaries between our world and the abyss grow thin. Whether it’s a doomed Antarctic outpost, a sinister family secret, a post-apocalyptic bunker, or a simple wish gone wrong, the anthology’s stories are united by a single theme: when hell is unleashed, no one escapes unchanged.
With contributions from 20 acclaimed and emerging authors—GATES OF HELL UNLEASHED is a must-read for fans of horror who crave variety, depth, and a touch of the diabolical. Enter if you dare—but remember, some doors can never be closed again.
