Chasing the Boogeyman
The New York Times bestselling coauthor of Gwendy's Button Box brings his signature 'thrilling page-turning' (Michael Koryta author of How It Happened) prose to this story of small-town evil that combines the storytelling of Stephen King with the true-crime suspense of Michelle McNamara.In the summer of 1988 the mutilated bodies of several missing girls begin to turn up in a small Maryland town. The grisly evidence leads police to the terrifying assumption that a serial killer is on the loose in the quiet suburb. But soon a rumor begins to spread that the evil stalking local teens is not entirely human. Law enforcement as well as members of the FBI are certain that the killer is a living breathing madman-and he's playing games with them. For a once peaceful community trapped in the depths of paranoia and suspicion it feels like a nightmare that will never end.Recent college graduate Richard Chizmar returns to his hometown just as a curfew is enacted and a neighborhood watch is formed. In the midst of preparing for his wedding and embarking on a writing career he soon finds himself thrust into the real-life horror story. Inspired by the terrifying events Richard writes a personal account of the serial killer's reign of terror unaware that these events will continue to haunt him for years to come.A clever terrifying and heartrending work of metafiction 'Chasing the Boogeyman does what true crime so often cannot: it offers both chills and a satisfying conclusion' (Stephen King). Chizmar's 'brilliant . . . absolutely fascinating totally compelling and immediately poignant' (C.J. Tudor New York Times bestselling author) writing is on full display in this truly unique novel that will haunt you long after you turn the final page.
