"We"re all in pain. We try to keep the gates closed by falling in love, travelling, avoiding responsibility, getting drunk, taking drugs... anything to lose ourselves. But the dull ache remains in each of us. These stories are about the gates opening." The Gate Theory holds six tales by award-winning Australian author Kaaron Warren, introduced by award-winning Australian author Amanda J Spedding. Each story resonates with the pain of living. Reviews for Kaaron"s writing: "Kaaron Warren is unafraid of the dark. She will step straight-backed into any alley-way or torture-room the world or her own subconscious can create, breathe deeply of the stench of the place, and bring back fascinating stuff for us to look, laugh darkly and marvel at - and turn over in our minds for days to come. Her stories are full of living people, and improbable events that I fear just might be true." ~ Margo Lanagan "With outstanding control, Warren manipulates Stevie"s voice to create a portrait of horror that in no way reads like a first novel." ~ Publisher"s Weekly "Canberra author Kaaron Warren"s latest novel, Mistification, is a powerful dark fantasy told in her trademark elliptical style." ~ The Canberra Times
