0 ratings

A spine-chilling, mind-twisting new psychological thriller in which a writing circle is haunted by a serial killer, from the acclaimed author of Lost Girls.Some People Will Do Anything For A Good StoryNothing seems to be going right for journalist Patrick Rush. Recently widowed, he's now bringing up a young son by himself. At work, he finds himself demoted to anonymous TV critic. It's time to do something.So he joins a creative writing circle in hope of realizing a life-long dream - to write a novel of his own. But this circle is somewhat ... unorthodox. The sessions are conducted in darkness, lit only by candles. Their shadowy leader has only recently come out of exile. And to make matters creepier, a gruesome serial killer is prowling the streets of Toronto – with an M.O. which bears more than a passing similarity to one circle member's tale about a child-snatcher called The Sandman. But how could one sinister story have an effect on the real world? Could there be a connection, and if so, who's involved? As the line between fact and fiction becomes increasingly hazy, Patrick decides to cut all contact with the circle – until he finds that once you're in this book group, there's only one way out...
