Frankenstorm: Category 8

📖 The Scoop

The Fear Is Spreading

In the third thrilling installment of Ray Garton's six-part Frankenstorm, a biological weapon is accidentally released during a killer hurricane—and one desperate woman is about to spread the word. . .

Frankenstorm

Even with a massive storm front threatening to devastate the California coast, Latrice Innes has no choice but to deliver a package to an address in Humbolt County. She has no idea what's in it but, considering she'll be paid two-thousand dollars for the delivery, it's probably illegal. As a jobless single mother, she'll do whatever it takes to get the money. But when she arrives at the home of her contact—and the lights go out in the storm—Latrice finds herself facing a much deadlier threat. An elderly man is waiting, biting and scratching like a deranged maniac. He's a test subject who escaped from a government lab. He's infected with a virus that's turned him into a raging biological weapon. And now Latrice is infected, too. . .
