Bonesaw Vic Sidequest #1: The Book Man
When Billy Whitebread clocked in that night, he was fully expecting to work a regular midnight shift at his decidedly unregular job. Unfortunately, things are rarely as they seem at Bonesaw Vic's Cryptozoological Gardens. Before long, Billy will find himself trapped in a briskly-paced nightmare that that takes him to the spirit world... and beyond.
After an unsettling encounter with Katherine the child poltergeist, Billy vows to expose the true identity of the Book Man, a serial killer who's been dead for over a century. If he succeeds, Katherine's murderer will receive his long-overdue justice in the spirit world, and Katherine will finally be released into the bliss of the afterlife.
But the Book Man is not an ordinary spirit. He serves a dark and powerful master, and he has no intention of ever facing judgement for his horrible crimes. In order to keep his place at his master's right hand, the Book Man's true identity must remain lost to time. He will do anything in his considerable power to keep it this way. Anything at all...
Fast-paced and darkly humorous, THE BOOK MAN is the first installment of the Bonesaw Vic Sidequest adventures. The "sidequest" releases delve deeper into the universe of Bonesaw Vic's Cryptozoological Gardens, the serialized horror-comedy that has rapidly become a fan favorite. Join our unlikely hero as he sinks ever deeper into a bizarre world of monsters, mobsters, and deities from beyond time and space.

This was a fun side quest! I’m glad the Skinwalker got so much of the spotlight. His personality kept the story alive. I hope there are more side quests to come.
