NICE DOGGIE . . .Cerberus turned its Snarly head, and the giant, jaundiced eye unblinkingly trained itself on my frozen form. The dog s eye narrowed, and I knew without anyone saying anything out loud that I was only one slo-mo minute from getting digested.The other two heads stopped their obsessive licking and raised themselves in line with Snarly head. They didn t look nearly as mean as Snarly, but as I watched, something much worse began to register in their eyes: excitement. The big hellhound s tail started thumping more quickly against the gate.Then, without warning, Snarly head swooped forward, teeth bared, giant eyeball trained in one direction . . . mine. Frozen in shock, I could do nothing but stare as Cerberus, the guardian of the North Gate to Hell, prepared to make me its lunch . . .THE BERKLEY PUBLISHING GROUP
