Thank you to Encyclopocalypse and Book Sirens for providing a review copy. 
I'm a big fan of both Wesley Southard and Lucas Mangum and a huge fan of Italian horror, so I jumped at the chance to read an ARC of The Final Gate. I don't think you need to be a big fan of giallo to enjoy the story, but at least passing familiarity with Fulci films adds a great bonus to the story. I loved everything about it and I could really picture the story as it unfolded. This one was a ton of fun and I would love to read a prequel or sequel.
