ID this old horror story.

If I had to guess I’d say it came out in 1987. The story starts with days getting progressively shorter, until its’ predicted there’ll be no daylight at all by a certain point. The story takes place mostly in New York especially in Central Park where a huge hole opens up and eventually progressively nasty bugs come from within. The protagonist is an old guy who’s trying to find a replacement as he’s been a sentinel of some sort. He knows what’s going on and how to stop it but feels its someone else’s turn to save the world.

Anybody know it?

F. Paul Wilson’s Nightworld

Sounds like Nightworld, by F. Paul Wilson.

That’s the one. Thanks, it’s been driving me crazy. Eleven minutes, this place is great.

F. Paul Wilson is still writing in this series and it’s getting better.

Just so’s you know!

What books take place after Nightworld in this series?

I didn’t know there were books before Nightworld.
