I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer | Michelle McNamara

We used to open our windows at night for fresh air. Not anymore. We took the dog for a walk in the evenings. Not anymore. My sons used to feel safe and secure in their own home. Not anymore. We all used to sleep without waking to every normal evening's noise. Not anymore.

Cinfhen Can‘t wait to read this book!! I hope the hype doesn‘t spoil it for me 😬 6y

JennyM Good pick and great read! 6y

valeriegeary @Cinfhen I really liked it. The parts actually written by Michelle were the best. The ones written posthumously by others weren't as good but still interesting. 6y

The Third Hotel: A Novel | Laura van den Berg

There may be a #boogieman is this book for all I know. I couldn‘t focus, kept skimming the pages. Not for me, this book. Or horror in general for that matter 😱

Cinfhen It‘s a great cover, too bad book wasn‘t captivating. And congrats on knocking off a prompt already!!! 6y

BarbaraBB @Cinfhen I bought it because of the cover 😂 6y

Redwritinghood I just finished this too, but I liked it a lot more than you did. 😂 6y

JennyM Me either, I just can‘t do horror 6y

BarbaraBB @Redwritinghood I read your review and there‘s obviously more to the book than I was willing to get out of it! 6y

Samplergal I felt I wasn‘t smart enough to absorb it. I didn‘t like it much. Fever dream meets horror. 6y

BarbaraBB @Samplergal Exactly! Thought I did like

Fever Dream

mrozzz I‘ve been hanging on about 60% the way through and have been reading other books before I try to finish this one... pretty sure I‘ll also mark it as a pan though 6y

The Silent Companions: A Novel | Laura Purcell

#OctoberXFiles #day3 #Boogieman This is one of the creepiest novels I‘ve ever read(and I‘ve read a LOT of Stephen King!)Set In The 1800s, Elsie is a newlywed, just pregnant with her first child when her husband dies. Packed off to his remote estate for the duration of her pregnancy, she‘s alone except for a cousin in law until she unlocks a secret room to find a wooden figure, painted to look like her. Then another appears, then another.😱

Cinfhen, Robothugs

Deranged | Harold Schechter

Scary- not sure I could read about this real life #boogieman #octoberxfiles

Cinfhen, Robothugs

Cinfhen 😢😢😢 sounds horrible ~ have you read this book @Kaye @Reviewsbylola @Mdargusch I know you all read lots of true crime 6y

Kaye @Cinfhen No, there are certain levels I don‘t cross when reading true crime. When a book goes into too much gory disgusting detail just for the sake of a story I won‘t read it. Anything graphically mutilating , lots of things involving kids , depending on how detailed it is, and I cannot read about school shootings. I‘ve never read any of those. 6y

Cinfhen I don‘t blame you @Kaye this book sounds too painful to read 😔 6y

Chrissyreadit @Kaye @Cinfhen honestly, the Wikipedia article about Albert Fish was almost too much for me to read. This is a book I will never read. 6y

Mdargusch No I haven‘t and I agree with @kaye, I‘m not into gore and mutilation. 6y

Through the Woods | Emily Carroll

This graphic novel contained many a #boogieman. I thought the stories were perfectly executed and perfectly creepy for this time of year. I gave it five stars, and it is my favorite graphic novel I‘ve ever read.

#octoberxfiles

Cinfhen, Robothugs

Cinfhen Whoa!! 5 stars for a GN!???! I gotta try it #stacked 6y

Reviewsbylola I know, totally unheard of for me!!! @Cinfhen (edited) 6y

Robothugs I LOVED this. Most definitely give it a go @Cinfhen 6y

emilyhaldi Mom had this one too.,. Maybe I should borrow 🤔 6y

Mdargusch Not great in my opinion but great illustrations. 6y

Terry Pratchett's Hogfather: The Illustrated Screenplay | Terry Pratchett

The #boogieman on Terry Pratchett's discworld is called bogeyman. They scare people and hide under beds or behind doors. A way to subdue a bogeyman is to put a blanket on his head. The theory goes that everyone knows bogeymen disappear if you put the blankets over your head, and so by putting a blanket over a bogeyman's head his belief in his own existance is impaired.
