출판사 설명
Something is terrifying the residents of St. Luke's Orphanage. Gurgling moans echo through the hallways. Hulking shapes lurk in the surrounding woods. And those who wake in the morning will find one less child under their roof…
Brandon and his girlfriend, Jillian, believe his younger brother is in serious danger. Even though the caretakers at St. Luke's told them that he's been adopted, Brandon has his doubts. With the help of a friend and a mysterious guide, they will do whatever it takes to find out just what is happening inside the orphanage walls…and at the bottom of the basement steps…
From Splatterpunk Award-Winning author Wesley Southard and Splatterpunk Award-Nominated author Lucas Mangum comes The Final Gate, the ultimate tribute to Italian horror master Lucio Fulci. With blood, guts, and all the nightmarish madness you'd expect from the Godfather of Gore himself, Southard and Mangum present a loving homage to spaghetti splatter and the glory of 1980's Euro horror.

Gory & Horrific!
This was a fun ride! The Final Gate starts with an introduction by Ryan Harding speaking about “the godfather of gore” Lucio Fulci. He was an Italian film maker and this introduction (which is a bit lengthy) goes on to discuss many of his films and how he is the inspiration for this book. Personally, I didn’t know who Fulci was but that doesn’t stop the book from being interesting.
The Final Gate reads like a slasher movie. Unusual things are happening at the St. Luke’s orphanage. Children are being adopted, or are they? We have many different view points which eventually come together to give us the final conclusion. There are some minor plot holes, but they don’t take away from the enjoyment of the book! This is a fast paced read and can easily be devoured in one sitting!
Now to go search Fulci’s films and watch them all. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you Encyclopocalypse Publications!
