Resumen del Editor

The terrifying sequel to the acclaimed New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling novel Chasing the Boogeyman, which was hailed as “genuinely chilling and something brand-new and exciting” (Stephen King) and “unforgettable” (Harlan Coben).

A riveting, haunting sequel to the New York Times bestselling thriller Chasing the Boogeyman—a tale of obsession and the adulation of evil, exploring modern society’s true-crime obsession with unflinching honesty, sparing no one from the glare of the spotlight. Will those involved walk away from the story of a lifetime in order to keep their loved ones safe? Or will they once again be drawn into a killer’s web? As the story draws to its shattering conclusion, only one person holds all the answers—and he just may be the most terrifying monster of them all.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Becoming the Boogeyman is a worthy and frightening sequel to Chizmar’s Chasing the Boogeyman. Terrific storytelling. You won’t be disappointed.” —Stephen King

“Becoming the Boogeyman is a compulsive, utterly immersive twist of fact and fiction. Richard Chizmar masterfully blends reality and imagination to deliver something wholly original and totally gripping from start to finish. I couldn’t stop turning the pages, even when I wanted to turn away. Don’t miss this edge-of-your seat chiller that will keep you guessing—and guessing again.” —Lisa Unger

“Becoming the Boogeyman is at times almost unbearably suspenseful and at times incredibly poignant. Richard Chizmar delves deep into our worst fears and touches the darkness that lives there. An amazing book.” —S. A. Cosby

The next chapter of mystery

Becoming the Boogeyman was another delicious romp in the “true” world adventures of Richard Chizmar, a great and entertaining adventure that stills pulls you in and tricks you into believing it is real. Well done. Looking forward to the next one!

Really does feel like a true crime book.

I watch true crime content on YouTube. The BOOGEYMAN series is a must read for fans of Kendall Rae.

Moderately better than chasing the boogeyman

The story was more entertaining and not such a slog though but the narrator is still just as hard to listen to. Overall I enjoyed this one more than Casing the Boogeyman but I can't say I'll bother to listen to or read it again.

Becoming the Boogeyman

What a true thriller. Loved this follow up to Chasing the Boogeyman. Very highly recommended!

It's a fun ride

Let's get this out of the way, Becoming the Boogeyman isn't as good as Chasing the Boogeyman. The storyline is OK, and characters come and go without much development. The best parts of the book are the detail that goes into Chizmar's writing -- the tangents that make the story seem more "real", and the inner dialogue that Chizmar is constantly having with himself. Ultimately, this story is a long setup for the 3rd book that is forthcoming. If you read the first book, temper your expectations.

Becoming the boogeyman

Becoming the boogeyman it ok book. Richard chizmar is good author. i hope nex book i love of his.

SUSPENSEFUL TO THE END! THE BOOGEMAN IS REAL

i loved this. i loved this continuing story. Joshua Gallagher is a sick twisted serial killer. I can't get his character and story out of my mind. the horror lingers still! He is written absolutely perfect. He gave me a feeling of dread everytime he had conversation with Richard!... i was shocked at how the story evolved. it just kept getting better and better. more complicated but interestingly so! and the narrator did a wonderful job. great cadence and tone . not overacted.. I am so excited there is another installment coming. i have grown to love the chizmars now. love Carly and the detectives. i really love knowing all the backstories! . but that Joshua. He is as compelling, horrifying and BELIEVABLE a character as was ever written. be afraid!!

One heck of a ride!

It is rare that a second book in a series can be just as good as the first, but Richard Chizmar has done it with "Becoming the Boogeyman". Same great storytelling as "Chasing....". You'll fall back into the story without a hitch. The only difference is, you won't have to Google the story, to see if it's real. Looking forward to the next.

(Simply) Amazing

At times, my heartbeat drowned out the narrator. A must read for anyone that loves murder mystery, thriller, and/or non-fiction crime.

Outstanding work by Chizmar!

5 stars to this gorgeously written rollercoaster! Beautifully narrated, with a rock-solid storyline, and filled with living, breathing, jump-off-the-page characters, this book is a must-read. Highly, highly recommend.
