In “Gateway to Oblivion,” a private investigator’s case sends him among followers of a dark cult that use houses as “gateways” to cosmic power and horror.

STORY EXCERPT:

     The lad couldn’t have been much older than fifteen, and the tears made him appear even younger. He sat in my client’s armchair, almost lost in it, and when he spoke it was a halting, trembling thing that seemed afraid to make itself heard.
     “It’s my faither,” he said. “He’s fallen in with a bad lot, and it’s changing him. Now he’s gone walkabout and not been home for a couple of days.”
     I didn’t laugh, but the incongruity of it amused me, for I was more used to fathers looking for wayward sons than the other way about.
     “What is it?” I asked. “Booze, women, bookies? It’s generally one, two, or all three of those.”
     “Religion,” the lad said, spitting it out as if it was a rude word . . .
