A Waking Nightmare

I’m not a big fan of horror as a genre for film or writing. But, there have been a few books that scared the bejesus out of me. Most recently was Devil in the White City by Erik Larson, which literally put the fear of the devil in me. Best of all, the book is nonfiction, so the fear felt especially real.
