#Excerpt: LIGHT IN MY DARK by Jean Gilbert and William Dresden


With an arm out front as a shield, Jack pressed through the unnatural pitch-black, swiping back the grasping monsters. Up ahead, there was a change in the darkness, a lightening of sorts. The nightmarish dread clung to him as he fought to reach the break ahead.

And then he was through.

All around him was a world of twilight. Gone was the crisp autumn air of Glen Eden. Instead, the air weighed on his body, thick like that of a humid summer day.

"Harper?" he called out as he scanned the half-light of the night.

It appeared to be evening, dusk, or just after.

Nervously, he walked forward, stumbling a little as his sneakers caught on the flat stone platform in front of the shadowed wall he had just come through. At the end of the platform, there was a set of steps that led down into a grassy glade that was surrounded by a thick hedge of tall shrubs. Two great shadowy figures flanked the steps like ghostly statues of some ancient cemetery. He could not see their faces, for they were turned away from the wall.

"Harper? Are you there?" he called out again.

When no one answered, he crept forward and down the steps, eyeing the stone statues as he passed between them. The air became heavier, making him nervous, but he kept going.
