Did This Sequel Just Beat the Original? | Becoming the Boogeyman Review

Today I’m reviewing Becoming the Boogeyman by Richard Chizmar, the second installment in his unique horror-thriller series that blends true crime, psychological suspense, and unsettling horror into something that feels disturbingly real. After thoroughly enjoying Chasing the Boogeyman, I was hopeful this sequel could maintain the same atmosphere and tension. Not only does it succeed, but it expands the story in fascinating ways, raises the stakes, and leaves readers desperately wanting the next installment.In this spoiler-lite review, I’ll discuss what makes this sequel work so well, who it’s likely to appeal to, a few reasons it might not be for everyone, and whether this series remains worth your time as we head toward the October release of Killing the Boogeyman.Have you read Becoming the Boogeyman?
