About this listen
When a grieving widower turns to the occult in a desperate attempt to contact his dead wife, he unwittingly opens a doorway to unimaginable evil. A malevolent entity slithers through, latching onto Walter's pain and growing stronger with every mournful brush stroke as he pours his anguish into increasingly disturbing paintings.
His daughter Kate, Aided by her old friend James and a mysterious medium named Tiqua, uncovers chilling secrets as she battles a malevolent entity feeding on her father's pain. His disturbing paintings might hold the key to banishing the darkness--if Kate can unlock their hidden message in time.
Packed with supernatural suspense and heart-pounding emotion, “The Devil's Doorway” is a spine-tingling story from the author of “The Haunting of Elena Vera” that will keep you gasping until the final tick. Once you step across this threshold, there's no turning back.

Great Paranormal Horror
I read The Devil's Doorway by Steven Pajak in its physical form, and I enjoyed it a lot. I love the audio version too. Joe Hempel 's narration really brings out Kate's grief and emphasizes the hellish atmosphere. Pajak has a lot of great descriptions, and Hempel brings them to life in a different way. It's a terrific paranormal book.
