Very Good Book One of the best collections of stories I have read in some time. Stories were long enough to be really good, but short enough to not take long.

Great stuff ;)

A great selection of stories here.My favourites have to be Hook, Line, and Sinker by Janine Pipe and I’ll Come Back To You by Brian Keene. Excellent stuff. Go pick this up!

If they hadn't jammed a poem in, near the end, I would've enjoyed the whole book. :)

This was a good collection of short stories by a bunch of authors I have never heard of. Good selection of horror, some pretty graphic. Most had a surprise ending......... there were only a few that you can guess the ending. One of my favorite types of books to read, because I have so little time TO read! Not sorry I purchased this book for my Kindle! Happy reading!

Review originally published in SCREAM Magazine, #67 July/August 2021Hell is unleashed on Earth. The gates have been opened and wickedness prevails. The authors of this anthology have been tasked to write a collective work detailing the horrific events. 25 stories of pure Hell.An intriguing premise.But I’ll set some early expectations and let potential readers know the apocalyptic hellscape synopsis is an effective hook, but the stories are more of the standalone variety instead of following the

Good scary little storiesThese were some perfectly great stories some were scary and some were alittle tame. But all in all they were right up my alley

This new collection from Burwick anthologies invites the reader to see what hell is capable of, with 25 stories from 25 writers, each chronicling a story resulting from the gates of hell being opened, and the consequence that has for mankind.Inside, you will find tales of;• A Malaysian pickpocket who steals more than he bargained for• A company who discover how to release the dead for the underworld, and what happens when they begin to lose control of what they have set in motion• Australian set...

25 Gates of Hell: A Horror Anthology is described in terms of gates opening and unleashing Hell on earth, with these writers chronicling the results. This is a fairly specific theme–although there’s obviously flexibility of course–and a good handful of these stories just don’t seem to fit the theme of “Hell on earth” beyond the fact that they’re horror stories. I’m always a bit disappointed when that happens, because I pick up themed anthologies because I’m specifically looking forward to that t...

It’s okay There were several stories that were worth the title’s meaning, but I didn’t much care for the others. What really bummed me out was that there was no story which extended the book’s summary about chronicling the evils which escaped hell. I would have really enjoyed reading that story if it was written!

4.0 Stars — Hell hath no fury... like hell! This wonderful concept, in which the gates of hell are opened by guards whereby a horrendous, magically horrifying journey ensues for the reader.Not for the faint of heat, these tales of Lucifers kingdom offer a wide array of hellish-fun, but it’s a no horrors-barred approach that won’t be for everyone. What I enjoyed most of all, was that each story felt like it had a grander plan, an arc that was disturbingly awaiting me around the corner of each pag...

This is one of the classiest collections of short stories I have ever read. I will go one further, and say it included the best short story I have read in many a long year. No spoilers, but it was Hotel California...yes, THAT Hotel California for anyone who hasn't now got the Eagles ' ballad going through their heads, you should have. One of the cleverest pieces of short fiction I have read. But, as I say, no spoilers, so you will just have to delve deeply into this awesome collection to find it...

As these are stories relating to the gates of hell from the imagination of the writers, if you are looking for happy endings, this is not the book for you. That said, I really did love the majority of stories in this collection. They were so very creative, from across the globe, space, ghosts, ungodly terrors, you name it. Some were really memorable and quite frightening, it made me wish they were longer/stand-alone, but now that I am familiarized with the authors, it gives me even more for my T...

Well edited horror collectionMany of these stories were not to my liking (I already know humanity is full of horrible people) but a few worked well and the stories themselves were well written and edited.

InterestingInteresting stories. Some with twists at the end. I had to smile almost Scilly at some of them. Good work.

25 Gates of Hell is perpetually locked in the darkness. It is a frank and conclusive investigation of how dark humanity can be. 25 stories from 25 writers, each one steeping into the fires of hell unsure of whether they could escape again. As the title suggests, each story is focussed on the opening of hells gates and the implications upon mankind. Each one is gritty, dark as hell and it kept my black heart beating for a little while longer. 25 Gates of Hell reminded me just why I love Horror sh...

Some really great stories in this anthology. A few failed to capture or keep my attention but for the most part, I loved it. Anxiety, Now Hiring Smiling Faces, 101 Days, The Inhabitant and Hook, Line, and Sinker were probably my favorites! This is a definite must read for horror fans.

Tales to chill your bones and warm your hearts. A fantastic and pleasantly diverse collection of stories from some incredible writers. Released on Halloween for only a dollar? Deal of a lifetime!

Adrian ChisholmSome of these weren't that scary. I understood what the writers were doing. Overall it was good to pass the time.

Gates of Hell or Just an Uncomfortable DreamI have this short story anthology three stars because although most were written fairly well, I feel as though I had read stories like them before. Very few had an actual "twist". Some stories were more psychological suspense, some went more into the horror genre. Not a bad read for reading on a plane or killing time in a waiting room.
