Gateway (Star Trek: TOS zine)

Gateway is a gen Star Trek: TOS anthology by April Valentine. The subtitle is "A Trek Universe Fanzine of the Macabre."
From an ad in Scuttlebutt #13: "It deals with Trek stories that are macabre, bizarre, whimsical, horror, melodrama, or fantasy. Does it have a twist ending? Could it be an episode of The Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock, or Outer Limits? If so, it's right for 'Gateway.'"
Immortal Are the Dangers is a Gateway special edition, a novel by Elaine Romig, perhaps later published by ScoTpress.
Artwork is uploaded to Fanlore with the permission of the fanzine publisher.
