“Knock knock.”“Who’s there?”
Nobody in Skary seems to know for sure…
It appears that everyone in Skary, Indiana, is having an identity crisis of epic proportions–including the town itself. Once known as the haunt of the world’s most popular horror writer, Wolfe “Boo” Boone, Skary started losing tourist business after Boo abruptly abandoned his career. Now the little town with the big marketing hook is up a creek–and on the brink of bankruptcy.
Meanwhile, the former show more best-selling author is hawking [or selling] cars and wondering, like the rest of the world, if he’ll ever write again. Yet even as Boo’s literary career gracelessly plummets, his fiancée, wholesome Ainsley Parker, is shooting to stardom as the media’s darling new domestic diva.
Weave in a dreaming bride with a bargain dress and a few too many pounds on her hips, an unconventional therapist who has Skary in his thrall, a depressed cat, a dogged busybody, and a horde of strange, ghostly figures traipsing in and out of the woods, and it’s easy to see why Skary is the quirkiest–and most charming–town around. show less

Book 33 - Rene Gutteridge - Boo Who
Way back near the beginning of Lockdown - Book 7 in fact, I read Boo, a funny, laugh out loud story about a horror novel writer who becomes a Christian. Filled with real characters, real situations and what happens to us when we are saved...how does it change us ?
Well, this is the sequel...what happens next ? What does being saved mean to us ? How does it impact on our lives ? Do we allow it to change us and what about those around us ?
Another well realised story with perhaps not as many laugh out loud moments as the first but some truly poignant moments...losing a character from book one who was clearly the backbone of a community and they didn’t even know it.
The book is about loves lost and love show more strengthened...love for family and love for friends...more important God’s love...how He gave up his son for us and how some of the characters within the town of Skary took Him to their hearts.
Enriching...emotional but an absolute joy to read. Give your loved ones an extra hug tonight...have a great week ❤️ show less

This important passage is telling of the main focus of Boo, which is the development of meaningful personal relationships. The book highlights the relationship between Ainsley and Wolfe, but also sheds light on relationships with other family members and relationships among the townsfolk. Has anyone considered why the main focus does not seem to be the formal practice of Christianity? Or why the book is even classified as Christian fiction for that matter? Gutteridge herself can answer that question. “I tend to tell people my novels are Christian because I’m Christian. I write from a Christian world view and therefore my stories reflect that. But I don’t feel the need to make my stories blatantly Christian just so I can feel good show more about myself. I’m comfortable writing a story that reflects Jesus’ heart and life with subtlety, because often times, it’s that still, small, subtle voice that is the most powerful in my life.” Can you think of any other fiction writers who share this same perspective? Do you suppose there is even a horror genre writer, such as Wolfe Boone, who espouses a Christian viewpoint? show less
