Když Henry York objevil za stěnou své ložnice devětadevadesát tajných dvířek, netušil, že to jsou vstupy do mnoha dalších světů. Bohužel se mu zároveň podařilo osvobodit i nesmrtelnou čarodějnici z pradávných dob, která dychtí po moci a chystá se zničit veškeré světy za dvířky – a zároveň i všechny ty, které má Henry rád. Henrymu nezbývá než požádat o pomoc legendárního Kaštanového krále. Všechno má však svou cenu a může se stát, že Kaštanový král po něm na oplátku bude vyžadovat cosi stejně nebezpečného jako čarodějnice sama. Třetí díl série (Sto tajných dvířek, Pampeliškový oheň).
12-ročný Henry York sa práve chystá do postele, keď začuje zvláštne zvuky prichádzajúce zo steny nad ním. Henry sa nachádza v dome, ktorý dobre nepozná - býva totiž u svojej tety, uja a troch sesterníc - a preto hluku nevenuje pozornosť. Ale keď sa na druhý deň zobudí, vo vlasoch si nájde kúsky omietky a v stene prerazili dve kľučky. Jedna z nich sa pomaly otáča... Henry preto zoškrabe omietku zo steny a objaví dvierka - deväťdesiatdeväť skriniek rozličnej veľkosti a tvarov. Cez jedny z nich počuje zvuk padajúceho dažďa. Cez ďalšie dvere vidí rozsvietenú izbu a v nej muža, ktorý sa prechádza hore-dolu po miestnosti. Henry a jeho sesternica veľmi rýchlo pochopia, že to nie sú obyčajné skrinky, ale brány do iného sveta.

What is this World? What kind of place is it? ôThe round kind. The spinning kind. The moist kind. The inhabited kind. The kind with flamingos (real and artificial). The kind where water in the sky turns into beautifully symmetrical crystal flakes sculpted by artists unable to stop themselves (in both design and quantity). The kind of place with tiny, powerfully jawed mites assigned to the carpets to eat my dead skin as it flakes off . . . The kind with people who kill and people who love and people who do both . . . This world is beautiful but badly broken. ôI love it as it is, because it is a story, and it isnÆt stuck in one place. It is full of conflict and darkness like every good story, a world of surprises and questions to explore. And thereÆs someone behind it; there are uncomfortable answers to the hows and whys and whats. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Through Him were all things made . . . Welcome to His poem. His play. His novel. Let the pages flick your thumbs.ö

LaHaye and Jenkins' best-selling apocalyptic fiction novel, Left Behind, is already so ridiculous that it's hard to make a parody of it. Yet the conservative Christian author, Nathan Wilson, bravely sets forth to push it over the top. Tweaked versions of all the original characters work together in an absurd tangle of Evangelical goofiness struggling to make sense of the pathetically gnostic vision of the original story. You won't want to miss all body parts, cats, and youth pastors left behind, Buff Williamson's Ivy League deductions, Haddie the Whore of Babylon, or the climactic struggle with the Tulsa Antichrist in a Christian "book store." If you regret reading Left Behind, read Right Behind to ease that pain with laughter.
