The Land Beyond All Dreams (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Even with torn and rotting wings, Thain’s monstrosities had enough altitude to reach the roof where we stood. Only Jake managed to bring a weapon to bear. As a hatchling closed on him, he brought shotgun to shoulder and took the monster’s head off. The horse-sized corpse plowed into him, bowling him over and sending the shotgun spinning across the roof. The hatchling’s claws raked Jake’s side open from hip to armpit. The body tumbled off of him, careening into the storage shed. The shed walls buckled, pulling away from their supports. The door sprang from its hinges and fell, revealing nothing but the promised air conditioner parts. The second hatchling struck Ron, pinning him to the ground while disemboweling him with its rear claws. It moved off him, hissing and lashing its tail. I raised Kindness and…dropped her. Nausea and blind panic. Gut-wrenching helplessness. That feeling out of nightmare, of trying to run and being unable to move, unable to speak. Rose was near to paralyzed with hysteria, and she was taking me down with her.
