“With this third entry in the Kathy Ryan series, Sangiovanni rips the threshold between our world and the unknown in a race against time that puts Ryan’s occult knowledge to the ultimate test.”

The Paragon Group discovers a strange alternate world while conducting their experiments. What they find is an empty world, inhabited only by strange alien flora, but nothing else that could signify signs of life … the team is basically exploring a huge abandoned city.

Soon, researchers begin to disappear. Occult investigator Kathy Ryan is called in to locate and return the team, as well as close the breach to that alternate world for good. Once there, Kathy finds this supposedly dead world is nothing of the sort. Now she must race against time to keep the boundary from collapsing, before hell spills over and takes control over both sides.

Why we’re excited about this book:

Bram Stoker award nominated Mary Sangiovanni has been consistently delivering the goods when it comes to horror fiction. Author of The Hollower Trilogy (The Hollower, Found You, The Triumvirate), Savage Woods, Thrall, and her latest series of Kathy Ryan books, Sangiovanni’s short fiction is also collected in Night Moves. She also hosts the popular podcast Cosmic Shenanigans. With this third entry in the Kathy Ryan series, Sangiovanni rips the threshold between our world and the unknown in a race against time that puts Ryan’s occult knowledge to the ultimate test.

Why Mary’s excited about this book:

“I’m excited about Beyond the Gate because not only does it tie a significant portion of my Mythos together that I’ve been working on for years, but it also lets me show a glimpse of the other worlds I’ve mentioned in my fiction for so long. All of the action, excitement, and danger of the Kathy Ryan books is amped up in this new one.”

Forthcoming from Lyrical Press 26 November 2019, Beyond the Gate by Mary Sangiovanni is available for pre-order now.
