Doors are gateways to the other worlds that inhabit our imaginations. The stories that lie in wait just beyond their innocent exteriors are unknown until we grasp the handle in our fingers and open them. THROUGH THE DARKEST DOOR takes us from war-torn cities to teenage parties; through playgrounds and hospitals to post-apocalyptic landscapes and worlds beyond the Earth. There are hit men and heroes along with ordinary people in extraordinary situations. There are failing marriages and the first flush of young love mixed with equal parts happiness and heartbreak. All you need to do is wrap your fingers around the handle, to feel the cool metal on your skin as you pull it open and take that first hesitant step through the doorway to see what lies beyond... This anthology collects together for the first time forty short stories by Scottish writer Bill Robertson reflecting his own unique take on what lies THROUGH THE DARKEST DOOR.
