Synopsis

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 Story Nothing 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!
