" the doctor proceeded down the hall to the rear exit and emerged upon the moonlit splendour of the garden behind the house on benefit street.
the radiant vista was walled off from the world, utterly deserted. the dark man stood in the moonlight, and its glow mingled with his own aura.
at this moment two silken shadows leaped over the wall. they crouched in the coolness of the garden, then slithered forward toward dr. dexter. they made panting sounds.
in the moonlight he recognized the shapes of two black panthers.
immobile, he waited as they advanced, padding purposefully toward him, eyes aglow, jaws slavering and agape.
dr. dexter turned away. his face was turned in mockery to the moon as the beasts fawned before him and licked his hands."
the shadow from the steeple, robert bloch
