Praise for At the Gate

5/5

"I don’t write reviews, but I literally read this in nearly one sitting. Not something I typically do, but so much tension and suspense that I had to find out what happened next. Well done."

5/5

"I highly recommend this book if you're looking for a calm, mysterious thriller with painful emotion at its core, so long as you're not one who struggles deeply with mental health issues, which I believe to be the basis of this story. A man fighting his personal demons, on the verge of collapse, and his only sense of salvation is through the only form of escape he knows how.

About Trey Stone

Trey Stone has studied archaeology in England, lived on an Arctic island for two years, and has more guitars than he has room for (the real problem is that his home is too small). He grew up on a farm in rural, western Norway, and has a bunch of siblings, half-siblings and in-laws, and is uncle to—oh, I don’t know—twenty or so kids. They’re all pretty awesome, he thinks. It’s difficult to remember who’s who anymore.

Trey as been telling stories for as long as he can remember. He used to create “books” when he was little by folding and stapling a bunch of paper together to write and draw scenes on the pages. He wrote a bunch of short stories when he was younger and tried his hand at a fantasy novel as a teen (but hardly any of that got anywhere)—then he finally wrote his first thriller five years ago and just never stopped. Thankfully!

Trey Stone is also the author of A State of Despair and The Consequence of Loyalty. You can find Trey on Amazon, Goodreads, and Twitter, or on his website.
