I'll Kill You Tomorrow

"I'll Kill You Tomorrow" by Helen Huber is a science fiction story that throws a nurse into a nightmare at a maternity ward in the 1950s. Registered nurse Lorry Kane is disturbed where an eerie hush has fallen over the nursery where all the babies are still and quiet. Lorry's unease grows into terror when she finds that evil has taken hold of the infants through parasitic beings with dark purposes. Along with Dr. Peter Larchmont, Lorry faces the shocking truth: These aren't ordinary newborns. They're hosts for something sinister that will turn them into adult killers. Racing against time, Peter attempts a dangerous procedure to rid the babies of their unwelcome guests to stop unspeakable horrors. The story ends with the pair questioning the cost of averting a catastrophe, unsure if they have truly stopped the cycle of evil that seeks to erupt in the world.
