Books like Bogeyman by Gayle Wilson
A year after her husband's death, Blythe Wyndham and her four‑year‑old daughter, Maddie, relocate to the small town where Blythe grew up. Soon strange occurrences begin: Maddie experiences nightmares so vivid that Blythe fears they might end her child's life. A psychologist attributes the dreams to grief, but Blythe senses a deeper menace. She hears phantom tapping at her daughter's window and suspects her new home is haunted. Determined to uncover the truth, Blythe investigates the town's history and learns of a brutal murder of a young girl twenty‑five years ago. With Sheriff Cade Jackson’s help, she seeks to disentangle past horrors from present danger, all while someone intent on preserving a dark secret threatens to kill again. Blythe must distinguish reality from illusion to protect her family and reveal the hidden truth.
