Shadow's Gate: Tales from the Threshold of Terror

by Sharon Marie Provost, Stephen H. Provost (foreword)

Darkness is falling, and the sun, sinking low in the sky, creates long shadows across your path. Those shadows lead you to the gate of an abandoned mansion, which houses secrets scarcely fathomable to the human mind. Are you brave enough to learn those secrets? If so, delve into this collection of twisted tales birthed in graveyards and ghost towns¿ on the high seas with ancient mariners¿ and up in the attic, where unexplained noises rouse suspicion—and inspire fear. Be assured, that fear is warranted. Sharon Marie Provost presents this selection of shadowy tales that range from the mind-bending to the macabre, from the spooky to the sinister. You stand at Shadow's Gate. Enter if you dare.

I read this in 3 sittings. It was SO GOOD. Reminds me of the Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark series. Campfire ghost stories with a twist. Loved it!

This was a very good collection of short stories. Each one is fresh and unique. Even those touching on classic horror tropes is taken from a perspective that's unusual. My favorite two, Phrogger and Savage Nature, would make excellent movies. I also found Pease Porridge to be uniquely horrifying. All-in-all, an excellent read and money well spent.

While I enjoyed some of the stories, I think that horror is just not my interest. The writing is great and flows, but I am just a little unsettled by the stories.

Through the twisted and amazing imagination of Sharon Provost comes this amazing collection of short stories.
I will be picking up more of Sharon's work in the near future.
I loved how different each tale was from the norm usually seen in this genre. My favorite was the Thanksgiving story. IYKYK this one stuck with me, I would love to know more about that specific world.

Sharon Marie Provost has published a collection of light horror short stories that are great to read when you want to be just a little bit scared but not weighed down heavily with gore or disturbing imagery. Her tales take mundane life, populated with realistic characters, and gives it just enough of a creep factor to scratch the itch.
