Samuel Johnson v. The Devil, Round II. Ask not for whom the bell tolls. Just start running.

Samuel Johnson with a little help from his dachshund Boswell and a very unlucky demon named Nurd has sent the demons back to Hell. But the diabolical Mrs Abernathy is not one to take defeat lying down.

When she reopens the portal and sucks Samuel and Boswell down into the underworld, she brings an ice-cream van full of dwarfs as well. And two policement. Can this eccentric gang defeat the forces of Evil? And is there life after Hell for Nurd?

Praise for THE GATES:

'Brilliant. I loved every word of it. John has found a voice that compares favourably with Stephen King and Monty Python which is not an easy trick. The Gates is delightfully horrific and hilarious and will create legions of fans among the living and undead, who will be bloodthirsty for more.' -- Eoin Colfer 'Destined to be another runaway success appealing to both young adults and their parent alike.' -- Sunday Independent 'Incredibly enjoyable.' -- FHM 'A demonic, darkly comic tale ... satisfyingly peppered with science, history and amusing footnotes on everything from St Thomas Aquinas to quantum theory, and will go down well with readers of Eoin Colfer and Lemony Snicket.' -- Daily Telegraph
