Description:Who could imagine...finding a construction sign that reads END LIFE on an abandoned construction road...could it be real?From the Indie bestselling author of The Swarm, comes a new novel of unsettling dread, a full-length eBook that is guaranteed to leave you breathless, scared, and questioning what you see around you. Come and walk down the Old Dirt Road to the Edge of the Great Gulf, where the dead sing…Available also on KINDLE DevicesBOOK DESCRIPTIONIt had reach, and it reached for him...Eddie Glenn is an average guy. He is 30, has a wife, Nancy, and lives in suburbia. He has walked on the old construction road behind their street for years, but when he stumbles a little further than normal, he finds himself in a strange, hollowed-out section of land where the sun misplaces shadows, colors look different, and sound is…is just off.Dissonance…He sees the sign. It is at the other side of the open land, just before listless woods. It is an “End Construction” sign, but the word “Construction” has been replaced with “Life.” Eddie believes the sign has been left as a warning, but could it really mean…could it really be true that anything passing the sign would die?End Life…He tests the sign’s proclamation with small animals. He is horrified to learn it’s true. Worse, Eddie Glenn begins to think that the bowled section of land—a decompression chamber between life and death—is connected to something too big for him. Something with gravity, time and reach.You will sing with us. We all sing in the Great Gulf, and it is resplendent!When Eddie discovers an abusive neighbor, a man whom he considered a friend, he begins to see patterns representative of chaos and disorder in his life, begins to feel the gravitational pull of the spot at the end of the dirt road. He begins to think that their street, which was completed 20 years after the rest of the residential development, had been built to hold something back.It has reach, and it reaches for him…Drawing inspiration from Stephen King’s Pet Semetary, Clive Barker’s The Hellbound Heart, the horror classic The Great God Pan, as well as particle physics, OLD DIRT ROAD is a quick moving story, with complex symbolism, with tension that builds and builds until it has you teetering on the Edge of the Great Gulf.BOOK EXCERPT“Want another beer? I’m out.”“Sure, I’ll take one,” Eddie replied.Wes grabbed the empty bottle from Eddie, asked him to hold the Cuban, and then went inside for the beers. Eddie had a wild urge to spit on the butt-end of the cigar (Cuban, Ed) and rub it along the tip. He didn’t. He stood alone and listened to the hypnotic undertone of passing cars that seemed part of another world where people like Wonderful Wes didn’t exist. That sound spoke to you, became a part of you. It had become a part of Eddie in his four years here. There was depth and breadth to it. It was intangible but had force. The source of the noise, the constant cycling cars and trucks, always changed but the sound never did. The cry of each vehicle meshed into one monotonous moan. Separation became impossible. The noise became without form, without shape…just a ceaseless cry pulled into an endless loop, a cry that reached to ears that did not hear. In the listener’s perception of the sound lay its paradox, its breadth and depth, and it spoke to Eddie Glenn in that dark night—perhaps really spoke to him for the first time. It would speak to him very often in the coming months.Eddie thought about the sign and the spot just beyond the stamped-down grasses.He thought about how the highway’s sound had been strange in there—stranger and more disarming than here in his backyard. Had it been the sound that was off, or had it been his auditory decoding that had skewed it? It was a question for great philosophers, not Eddie Glenn, a mediocre pharmaceutical salesman, a guy with a medium-sized penis, a medium-sized house and a medium-sized dog. Nancy, it seemed, was the only comma in an otherwise run-on of mediocre things that made up the whole of Eddie Glenn.Why such dark thoughts, Ed?He supposed it was Wes…or the hulking burden that he might have subconsciously seen in his future. The burden of power, and secrets, and the fragile nature of the human mind.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
