520    "There was the bad; the unimaginably, indescribably bad, 
       hovering above all those wonderful memories like an angry,
       slate-gray thunderstorm sky." 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 subrurb, and soon a rumor begins to
       spread that the evil stalking local teens is not entirely 
       human. But law enforcement and members of the FBI are 
       certain the the killer is a living, breathing madman--and 
       that 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 group
       is formed. In the midst of preparing for his edding and 
       embarking on a writing career, he soon finds himself 
       thrust into a real-life horror story. Inspired by the 
       terrifying events, Chizmar writes a personal account of 
       the serial killer's reign of terror, unaware that his time
       back home will continue to haunt him for years to come. A 
       clever, terrifying, and heartrending work of metafiction, 
       Chasing the Boogeyman is the ultimate marriage between 
       psychological horror and true crime. Chizmar's writing--
       combining the storytelling of Stephen King with the 
       relentless suspense of Michelle McNamara--is on full 
       display in this truly unique novel that will linger in 
       your memory long after you turn the final page. --|cFrom
