An assemblage of fears.

This weird novel by Jon Bassoff starts witha “news
clip” about a teen’s suicide, then reveals an apocry-
phal killer’s tale under cover of multiple framing
devices—journals salvaged from a fire,pagesof
footnotes, collagelike photos, stultifyingpolice
reports—to keep the horror disarmingly offcenter.
