"I don't want to," Grace whispered. "Just her."
At the Gates and Other Stories is a collection of sixteen fantasy short stories.
Reviews of stories in this collection
"This is the first story I've heard this year that I'd consider a masterpiece. It's rare for a story to move me to tears, but this one did. The writing is perfect, capturing the period and expressing the torments of war brilliantly." – John Dodds, The Fix on The Western Front.
"Marvelous." – Colin Harvey, Suite101, on At the Gates.
"This one kept me turning the page without pause, with its natural pace and flow of words, good characterization, and skillful plot build-up. Samphire's writing skill is matched only by his knowledge of Ancient Egyptian culture and mythology." – Scott M. Sandridge, Tangent Online, on The Land of Reeds.
"A great coming-of-age story." – David Roy, epinions, on When the Dragon Falls.
"Patrick Samphire offers an updated Arthurian fantasy, an elegantly crafted modern-day take on the Matter of Britain." – Gardner Dozois, Locus, Issue 598 on Camelot.
