Wow, what a haunting journey!

This book isn't just another fantasy horror; it's a visceral exploration of good versus evil with a chilling twist on what it means to fight for the light in the face of overwhelming darkness. The vivid descriptions and intense scenarios had me on the edge of my seat, rooting for Felix and his band of unlikely heroes to succeed. For anyone who craves a story that combines the thrill of horror with the depth of a spiritual odyssey, "The Gates of Nearhope" is a must-read. Prepare to be terrified and inspired in equal measure.

Superb narration & great story

When it comes to audiobooks, for me the first thing that has to be good is the narration. It can't simply just be read, it must be performed. Thankfully, John Regan's book is narrated superbly by Alan Turton. An exciting & eerie fantasy horror that keeps you listening and engaged. Great characters and a great concept. I really enjoyed this one. I highly recommend Nearhope!

A fantastic book made all the better by the narration.

This book is marketed as fantasy horror, but it is so much more. A story that takes the reader on an epic journey from our world to a dark realm inhabited by demons. The demons want to destroy the human race and need to be stopped. With references to Covid, YouTube and social media, it is bang up to date. The narration is fantastic and gives the story depth.

highly recommended for fans of dark fantasy

This book is an exhilarating thrill ride that plunges you into a desperate fight for humanity's survival. Felix, a man with nothing left to lose, stumbles into a world far darker than he ever imagined. The narrator nails the story, perfectly capturing the desperation, fear, and determination of the characters.

This isn't your average trip to hell. Nearhope, a buffer zone between our world and the demonic realm, sets the stage for an epic clash between good and evil. The stakes couldn't be higher, and the chosen twelve, led by a mysterious figure, face an unimaginable task.

The story is action-packed, with moments that had me on the edge of my seat. The author masterfully weaves together Felix's demons with the larger threat to humanity, creating a compelling and relatable protagonist.

This book was really intense and will leave you questioning the very nature of good and evil.

Best Narrator Ever!

This is a really high-quality audio-book. A great listening experience. The story is compelling and enticing and draws you in. Their is suspense and almost immediate engagement....you'll see what I mean if you listen. An outstanding narrator (which is a rare treat)....who makes it come to life. I highly recommend you listen.

Had me at the edge of my seat the whole time!

It's a graphic story of demons trying to take over the world. The story had disturbing parts which made me hooked onto every minute of the narrator's performance. Speaking of the narrator, it was a perfect delivery and I really hope Alan narrates the next one! I really loved the graphic descriptions and how nothing was held back. The story was great and I can see this being turned into a movie one day. Overall, I highly recommend it as I could find nothing to complain about! Fantasy Horror fans should not sleep on this title or this author! I can't wait for the next one!
