STORM WARNED,
Book 3 of the Grim Series:
The sound of shattering glass woke him, and for a moment Liam didn’t know where he was. Another crash from somewhere above cleared some of the sleep from his brain, but the roaring in his ears continued. Wind, he realized suddenly. A hellacious storm was shaking the entire house to its century-old foundations. He’d fallen asleep in front of the damn TV again, but it was off and so were the lights. Power must be—
Twin bolts of
lightning struck close by, and instinct had him diving for the floor behind the
couch just as something exploded in the yard. Before he could take another
breath, thunder battered his senses until he was forced to clamp his hands over
his ears. The floor beneath him vibrated and shards of glass and wood rained
down around him. And something huge, dark and heavy came crashing down beside
him like a damn refrigerator, narrowly missing him.

| This is Book 3 but every story in the series can stand alone. |
When the tumult
finally died away, lightning continued to flare and flicker, enabling him to
see part of a tree impaling the living room wall, stripped of all branches like
a giant’s spear—and right where Brewster the Mooster had always hung. Uncle
Conell’s ancient trophy had been named by a three-year-old Liam, and was
practically part of the family. Now the searing flashes of light revealed the enormous
stuffed head upside down mere inches from to Liam’s hiding place. Its monstrous
antlers had been driven into the floorboards, and one glass eye hung free like
something out of a horror movie.
Every window in the
room had shattered, and the force of the wind drove the rain sideways through
the opening, the furious drops soaking everything.
Cautiously, Liam
rose and felt his way to the kitchen where a collection of candles,
flashlights, and battery-filled lanterns collected dust on top of the fridge.
He grabbed a lantern, and tucked a small penlight in his pocket, but with the
near-continuous flashes from the storm, he quickly realized there was little
point in turning either light on. No point going upstairs either—the sound
alone was enough to tell him that the windows were gone up there as well, and
he couldn’t do anything more about that than about the broken glass that
blanketed the living room.
Suddenly the house
shook hard enough that pictures fell from walls in every room, as if to
underscore that this was no ordinary thunderstorm. Tornadoes were rare here but
not unheard of, and Liam decided to err on the side of caution, taking shelter
in the bottom of a solidly-built hallway closet.
Whose bright idea
was it to put the door to the damn cellar on the outside of the house?
