The Suburb Beyond The Stars (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
The day was bright, and the grass shone beneath the sprinklers as if gemmed. Behind the houses there were small stands of white pine marking off individual yards. Brian and Gregory walked along, watching carefully for any detail that might suggest danger. It was almost six, and more parents were getting home from work. Their wheels hushed past on the tarmac. Everything was peaceful. Brian didn’t like the peace. Something was coming, he felt instinctively — something that hated the slumber and ease of this community. They had built their suburb over something ancient and dangerous, and whatever lived beyond the rim of the world and peered through into this one would now exact revenge. It didn’t matter that the houses looked firm and complacent on their lawns. There was something in the mountains that wanted it all to blacken and burn at the edges, that wanted to crawl forth, astonish, and destroy. The adhesive golden numbers on mailboxes were still new, and sparkled in the light. At the corner of Fisk and Yastrzemski there was a green electrical box surrounded by a moat of red wood chips.
