THE MAKING OF CEMETERY GATES
History has always played a part in fiction. We’re all aware that Bram Stoker used Vlad the Impaler, and possibly Elizabeth Bathory, to create his character Dracula. James Cameron used an old time travesty, the sinking of The Titanic, to produce one of the greatest love stories for the silver screen. Stephen King uses history in a most efficient way: from the tales of medieval werewolves to Biblical Armageddon. Without history and man’s imagination, creatures and monsters, and novels of the unknown may not exist at all.
Cemetery Gates is no different. It moves through time, from an era where witches were burned and hanged, through the Black Plague, to the Flu of 1918 in the city of Philadelphia, to the present day.
