About The Gates by John Connolly

Young Samuel Johnson and his dachshund, Boswell, set out trick-or-treating three days before Hallowe’en. Their early start leads them to strange events at 666 Crowley Avenue, where the Abernathys’ dabbling in Satanism coincides with a malfunction at the Large Hadron Collider.

The malfunction opens a gap in the universe, revealing enormous gates to Hell and the terrifying beings waiting beyond them. Samuel must persuade others that the danger is real and find a way to use science to save the world. This fantasy, described as a novel for strange young people, brings scientific ideas into a supernatural adventure for readers drawn to both.
