The Street by Garry Douglas Grafton (1988)  ANGRY ASHALT
The roads that made up the new Diamond Estate were all named named after gems, There was Emerald Avenue, Ruby Close, Garnet Crescent... and Bloodstone Street.
It started on the day the Peter family moved in. Patty was lying in the road and when her father made her get up her body left a damp imprint on the asphalt.
'Look, Daddy,' she said, 'the street is crying.'
But within days the tarmac was bubbling with a malevolent will of its own, sucking at the feet of unwary pedestrians, chopping at the arms of maintenance workers and redirecting the wheels of speeding cars.
The residents of Bloodstone Street had moved into open plan suburbia – only to find themselves trapped in a cul-de-sac of terror...Killer tarmac controlled by a coven of witches. The premise alone made this one worth reading. |

Sounds delightful, but a bit pricey in my neck of the woods. Can someone goad me to purchase?  |
