A worthy and terrifying sequel to Chizmar's Chasing the Boogeyman, this novel delves into the depths of obsession and the adulation of evil. Set in the summer of 1988, Richard Chizmar finds himself at the center of a chilling nightmare when the serial killer Joshua Gallagher, known as The Boogeyman, stalks his tranquil Maryland town. Chizmar, who has gained notoriety for being the only person to whom Gallagher will talk, both on and off the record, visits him in prison to seek closure for the grieving loved ones of Gallagher's victims. However, when a masked figure leaves a horrifying calling card in front of Chizmar's home, he realizes that there is a price to be paid for his interaction with the devil. It becomes evident that a new player, controlled by The Boogeyman, is now involved in the unfolding events.

A riveting and haunting tale, this sequel explores modern society's true-crime infatuation with unflinching honesty, sparing no one from the glare of the spotlight. It delves into the dark corners of human nature, examining the motivations and actions of those who are driven by obsession and the desire for power. The characters are complex and multi-dimensional, with their flaws and weaknesses adding depth to their portrayals. The writing is masterful, with vivid descriptions and a suspenseful pace that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.

Overall, A Rage in Eden is a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers and those who are intrigued by the darker side of human nature. It is a testament to Chizmar's talent as a storyteller and his ability to create compelling and unforgettable characters.
