Brilliant. . . . Absolutely fascinating, totally compelling, and
immensely poignant. I dare you not to finish it in one sitting.
This one will stay with me!

Riveting. Chilling. Chasing the Boogeyman is an unflinching look at
a real-life monster and the ordinary heroes obsessed with stopping
him
*Riley Sager, New York Times bestselling author of Final Girls and
Home Before Dark*
Richard Chizmar, with Chasing the Boogeyman, presents himself as a
print version of Norman Rockwell, if the artist had devoted himself
to the creepy things that hide under the bed
*Linwood Barclay, New York Times bestselling author of Find You
First*
Hammer in hand, Richard Chizmar's come to shatter the idea that
everything's already been done. An absolutely chilling mash-up of
styles, media, biography, and legend. Elastic, unsettling,
brilliant. And here you thought you knew the names of every
genre
*Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box and
Malorie*
Creepy yet captivating . . . A metafictional masterpiece
*The Times Crime Club*
With Chasing the Boogeyman, Richard Chizmar demonstrates the full
power of his impressive storytelling reach. A fascinating conceit
paired with deeply human writing creates a thriller that conjures
writers as disparate as Stephen King and Michelle McNamara. The
result is a marvelous mind game of nuanced, layered
storytelling
*Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author of Never Far
Away*
Literature was invented around 3400 B.C. Approximately 5,419 years
later, Richard Chizmar has invented an entirely new genre of
literature with Chasing the Boogeyman. Compulsive, encompassing
storytelling. Do not miss this one!
*Brian Keene, bestselling author of The Rising*
If Ray Bradbury had written In Cold Blood it would probably look a
lot like Richard Chizmar's masterful Chasing the Boogeyman, a
perfectly written and unnervingly suspenseful thriller about a
series of murders that tear apart the fabric of a picturesque
Maryland town and the writer who puts everything on the line to
solve them. This is a mind-bendingly engaging book. Be prepared for
the hairs on the back of your neck to be standing at attention as
you devour every rich page
*David Bell, bestselling author of The Request*
Richard Chizmar spins dark magic with Chasing the Boogeyman. A true
crime masterpiece with Chizmar himself as a key player in the
grisly mystery. Highly recommended, but not for the faint of
heart
*Jonathan Mayberry, New York Times bestselling author of V-Wars and
Patient Zero*
Wonderful . . . a knotty mystery with an elegant resolution at its
heart . . . It feels so original, dizzy-making in its expert
layering of fact and fiction . . . A hymn to both innocence and to
growing up
*Catriona Ward, bestselling author of The Last House on Needless
Street*
