The dark place

When a mysterious sinkhole opens in a suburban street, nobody could ever foresee the horror that was to come. 
Eight-year-old Adam Pettinger knows things. He has dreamed of the dark place and knows what resides in it. 
His neighgour, Brian Embry is dying. With his cancer terminal, he no longer has any desire to live. 

Now, these two residents of Chestnut Avenue will learn that they are connected in ways they could never imagine, and that they are the only ones who can possibly stop the thing from the dark place. It may, however, be too late.

As the sinkhole grows and the army arrives to calm the situation, they do not realise that a war centuries in the making is about to explode in their slice of suburbia, with consequences that could have deadly repercussions for all of mankind.

Sample text:

It had waited in the dark, festering in the bowels of the earth for longer than mankind had inhabited the world. For thousands of years, it had waited, roots growing deeper, stretching out into the soft earth, probing and pushing as it spread like a vast tumour. For centuries it had lain in wait, feeding on the weak, fleshy things on the surface, soaking up their uncertainties, their aggression, their anger, their fear. The weakness of the world had made it strong, and the Great War was to begin.  Centuries of patience were about to be rewarded, the negative energy it had consumed from countless wars, robberies, divorces, deaths, diseases, worries, frustrations and every other trait which made mankind the weak, fragile species it was had been fed upon to make it grow into something beyond the colour of night.

The time had come. It started to push towards the surface.
