The story follows “Marcus, who grew up believing his father killed his mother — then blamed it on the boogeyman under the bed. Always leave the lights on, his father warned, or the boogeyman will get you. Marcus still heeds the superstition, especially when he invites his new girlfriend over.

“Is Marcus haunted by a creature or has he just inherited his father’s murderous delusions? The night will tell.”
