There was, Carly explained, one interesting trend beginning to emerge in Edgewood, and, just as the satanic panic and multiple serial killer theories could be attributed to a recent increase in gossip—somewhere along the line, suspicion had begun to replace caution—so to could this new pattern of behavior. In the days following Madeline Wilcox‘s death, there’d been a sudden sharp increase in the number of verbal arguments and physical altercations occurring between local residents. Loose lips and drunken slurs lead to fistfights in parking lots and front yard. Joking around turned serious and then violent. Old feuds where rekindled, and new ones started. A rash of false accusations broke out, and it took an official warning from police to tamp it down. The tip-line took in calls at a record pace, but most of them more trivial nonsense, and law enforcement was considering shutting the whole thing down.” Geisinger, Gabriella (October 8, 2019).

Chizmar hits it out of the park. … Chizmar is a natural storyteller. The world he shows us is evocative and lovingly described.” — Dave Writes and Draws (and Reads) Readers will love it, regardless of if you’re a true crime, horror, mystery, or thriller fan. It has all the pieces and is one of my only five-star books of the year. I can’t wait to read more from Chizmar.” — Horror Geek I'm a little late to this party and I am sure you have all heard the buzz about this book. A fictional serial killer story meant to read like true crime, pictures and all, and partly a memoir. RC: He actually was caught in the early or mid 90s, but not for the crimes he committed in Edgewood. He was arrested for a completely unrelated crime in Baltimore City and eventually admitted that he was the mysterious Phantom Fondler. Evidence from the various crime scenes matched up, so the authorities knew he was telling the truth.

Book Review: Chasing the Boogeyman by Richard Chizmar Book Review: Chasing the Boogeyman by Richard Chizmar

Over the next four months, four more girls are murdered in the same way – their bodies posed, their left ears cut off. All of them were pretty and white, with long hair and from good families. The similarity between victims, the way they were killed, and the calling cards left with the bodies lead the police to the believe that a serial killer is on the loose. I very much enjoyed this book as it read like a true crime story, (although it is faux). I was totally invested in Richard's search for the killer and although the ending was somewhat rushed, Mr Chizman kept the energy flowing and compulsive reading followed. Included in the book was pictures of the victims and places where the crimes occurred, adding a layer of truthfulness to the story. a b "The Boogeyman". The Numbers - Financial Information.

Richard Chizmar’s Chasing the Boogeyman, which bridged the gap between fiction, biography, and true crime, was perhaps the most unique book I read in 2021. In a way, Chizmar invented his own genre, and that’s more than enough to cement his status as one of horror fiction’s greats.” — Locus I listened to the audiobook, and Chizmar's smooth writing style along with Chris Andrew Ciulla's perfectly matched narration lolled me into a state where didn't want want to stop listening. From the latest Scandinavian serial killer to Golden Age detective stories, we love our crime novels! Chasing the Boogeyman is genuinely chilling and something brand new and exciting. Compulsive reading and scary…I thought often of I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, but never to the story’s detriment. Ray Bradbury’s influence is all over it, but he never could’ve written that ending. Chasing the Boogeyman does what true crime so often cannot: it offers both chills and a satisfying conclusion.” Chizmar’s Becoming the Boogeyman, a uniquely blended tale of fact and fiction, has you asking yourself, did this really happen? And even if it didn’t, it feels like it could, and that will chill you to the bone.” — Linwood Barclay
