Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Chris Andrew Ciulla’s performance in ‘Becoming the Boogeyman’ is nothing short of extraordinary. His portrayal of Richard Chizmar’s character—both as the boy who witnessed unimaginable horrors and the man seeking to understand his past—is masterful, with a perfect balance of youthful terror and adult resolve. The story's pacing is tight and relentless, each chapter building suspense until you're on the edge of your seat by the end. Yet, there are moments that feel overly reliant on supernatural elements, potentially disrupting the psychological horror at play. Despite this minor critique, this audiobook remains a terrifying and thought-provoking listen, perfect for fans of Stephen King and atmospheric rural horror.
