The house stood empty, dark and forboding. But if the house was empty, who was watching Erica with dead, vacant eyes...caling her name in the night with foul and fetid breath...caressing and arousing her with rough, probing hands?

"'The Gatekeeper' - Dana Reed" Review of ‘The Gatekeeper’ This compulsively written novel, which personalizes the continuing conflict in our society between good and evil, is compulsive reading. Dana Reed has created a cast of dislocated human characters, who are forced to confront hideously cunning and supernaturally empowered denizens of a nether world controlled by the Gatekeeper, a first lieutenant of Lucifer. This conflict is a significant engagement in the battle between Good and Evil, in a “world (which) was (is) turning in the direction of the master beast…Christian souls were (are) disgusted with formal religions.” The locale of this terrifying confrontation is centered on a ‘haunted’ house; and a medley of threatened souls fall easy victims to the demented machinations of the demonic entities, despite the efforts of a demoralized psychic. The author’s descriptive power makes the reader feel, hear, smell and almost touch the walls of the ‘hagged’ building. In...

Lawrence used the same ploy to emphasize the physical love between Lady Chatterley and her Gamekeeper. Both authors were eminently successful Perhaps the most significant fact for me concerning ‘The Gatekeeper’ is that it is based on the author’s investigation of a ‘real’ haunted house. My dreams have been invaded, and I fear for my computer, through which I first read the novel. Read, learn and enjoy! Vangerry Oldham, Eleuthera, BAHAMAS. 14.12.2005< Less
