Fiction: a group is formed by a researcher to create an imaginary person with the goal of manifesting the imaginary person into life. The group succeeds but the imaginary person kills all the group members before they can destroy him. The main character is a male who during the course of the book enters a romantic relationship (I think with the female researcher). Read in the late 90s

No, but looking into that book made me think of the title. It's called Superstition. It's a novel by David Ambrose. It's along the same lines but not about a serial killer. Thanks!

Glad you found your book, Celeste. Here's the link - Superstition by David Ambrose.

Would you say this is a spoiler: "Imaginary person kills all the group members before they can destroy him."? If yes, we'll remove it from the header/ topic title - and add a spoiler alert.
