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.
