The Becoming

Nearly a century ago, the Tonopah Mine in Tonopah, Pennsylvania was shut down, sealed off by the government and abandoned after a series of unexplained disappearances deep beneath the earth's surface. But whispered rumors of something . . . unnatural . . . roaming the long-abandoned tunnels continued, decades after its forced closure.

When twelve year old Tim McKenna decides to explore the site of the tragedies, he reawakens an ancient evil, one that has been trapped in the darkness.

Waiting.

And now it's free.
