VIGIL"Did your colleague tell you anything, no matter how odd, about what happened in the lab that night? About the explosion? The fire? The fossil?" Carter debated going into it; all he wanted to do was get away, but at the same time there was something in Ezra’s query -- in the imploring look in his eye -- that made him pause. "Okay, he did say one thing that might interest you," Carter said. "But you’ve got to remember that he was delirious and doped up to his eyeballs when he said it -- " "Tell me." "He said the fossil had come to life." --From Vigil (Berkley Books, 2005) "You’ll be sleeping with the lights on after reading this one. Haunting and unforgettable ... As terrifying as The Omen or The Exorcist." -- Jeff Long, author of The Descent |
