Synopsis
It Was a Dark & Stormy Night by Tim Kelly
It is a dark and stormy night indeed when several strangers are forced to take shelter at the Inn of Cousin Ebenezer Saltmarsh. There's the hard-nosed detective, the nurses who think that Uncle Silas is their patient (he isn't), a couple of college students, a state trooper, and a key witness to a brutal crime. But not everyone is what he or she appears to be. Who will survive this dark and stormy night and who will fall victim to the mysterious forces within?
