Gateway of the Mind is celebrated for its lean, clinical prose and its philosophical dread — what happens to the human mind when stripped of every anchor to the physical world? The story belongs to the tradition of 'experiment horror' and has been widely reprinted, recorded as audio drama, and cited as an influence by professional horror writers. Its final line is considered one of the bleakest endings in creepypasta.
