By Christian Francis

They have opened The Gate. Pray it's not too late.

The official novelization of the 1987 supernatural horror film, written by Michael Nankin. Based on his original, darker screenplay, this novel expands on the film's practical-effects-driven horror, eerie atmosphere, and unforgettable 80s adventure.

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.

Whether you're revisiting The Gate or experiencing its demonic horror for the first time, this official novelization delivers all the creeps, scares, and suspense of the film.
