About this audiobook
The True Story behind the Terrifying Movie
Don't think of his name...
In 1990, three college students spent a long Wisconsin winter experimenting with a Ouija board; it turned out to be the deadliest mistake of their lives.
The board brought them into contact with a psychic serial killer, known only as the Bye Bye Man. Learning his name makes you vulnerable, but thinking about it draws the Bye Bye Man to you.
He is a relentless traveler, moving night and day, coming ever closer until the shrill sound of a steady whistle announces his arrival. He might turn up outside your bedroom door, speaking in the voice of a trusted friend, someone who would never hurt you…
Here is the authentically terrifying, true-life story recounted by historian Robert Damon Schneck in a chapter of his classic underground collection of weird Americana, which formed the basis for the major motion picture, The Bye Bye Man.
This unsettling tale is accompanied by seven more chapters of twisted history, and includes the author's new afterword, "Searching for The Bye Bye Man."
From the Trade Paperback edition.

Reviews for The Bye Bye Man
6 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I'm a big fan of this genre of books, a very good read for paranormal/horror fans. Look forward to seeing the movie.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Overall, this small anthology was not as chill-inducing as the cover would have you believe. It is a collection of American stories that may or (more likely) may not have unusual explanations, and each is presented in the general form of an historical research topic. The author raises some questions and theories with regard to the stories, all of which are unresolved, but no answers. They were somewhat interesting but not exceptionally noteworthy.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Unfortunately I was disappointed in this book as I thought it would be as creepy as the cover made it seem to be, but alas it was not. There are only eight stories in the book and as much as I wanted to be scared even with reading about the Bye Bye Man, the story didn't spook me at all. You can turn the lights off folks as there is nothing to be afraid of here! Some of the stories were boring to me as I just could find no spooks! Two stars for this one!
