Boo

Talk about Working out Your Faith with Fear and Trembling.The biggest thing to happen to Skary, Indiana, is renowned horror novelist Wolfe Booneor, Boo, as the locals fondly call him. For the past sixteen years, the reclusive writer has been the towns greatest attraction, having unintentionally turned the once-struggling Skary into a thriving tourist-trap for the dark side: from the Haunted Mansion restaurant, famous for its bloody fingers (fries splattered with ketchup) to Spookys Bookstore (where employees dress like the walking dead). But when a newly reformed Wolfe suddenly quits the genre and subsequently starts to pursue Skarys favorite girl-next-door, Ainsley Parker, the little town made famous by his writings becomes truly horrified. Soon, a scheme is plotted to put the fright back into Skaryand get their most famous resident out of love and back into the thrill business. Filled with humor, small town charm, and a gentle message of enduring faith, Boo shows how even the most colorful group of busybodies and hypocrites can become a community changed forever by God.From the Trade Paperback edition.
