‘The Gate’ Novelization by Christian Francis Published Today
Echo On Publications has published an official novelization of the 1987 horror cult classic The Gate.
It’s written by Echo On editor-in-chief Christian Francis, who has authored such novelizations as Wishmaster, Session 9, and In the Mouth of Madness.
Best friends Glen and Terry stumble upon a mysterious hole in Glen’s backyard. At first, it seems harmless. Then, strange things begin happening. Terrifying visions, shadowy creatures, and unexplainable events escalate quickly.
By the time they realize the truth, it’s too late. They’ve opened a portal to a demonic realm. What starts as a harmless discovery turns into a nightmare beyond imagination.
With their parents away and the forces of darkness closing in, Glen and Terry must fight to close the gate before the demons consume their world.
Based on the screenplay by Michael Nankin, the novel is said to be “a much darker, more twisted horror.”
Directed by Tibor Takács, The Gate stars Stephen Dorff, Louis Tripp, Christa Denton, Kelly Rowan, and Jennifer Irwin.
