FREE: Billy by Whitley Strieber

The listing, Billy by Whitley Strieber has ended.

This book was interesting to say the least; it's a great read.
It is about a Fat, 40-ish Barton Royal, kiddy-clown in an L.A. bookstore, is obsessed with pubescent boys. He wants to be their "father" but when they turn against him he has a "black room" for their punishment. When he sees 12-year-old Billy Neary in an Iowa shopping mall, Barton is smitten. He follows the boy home, abducts him and drives to L.A. where Billy is his prisoner.
The book alternates scenes of the devastation wrought on Billy's family, a national manhunt, Billy's growing awareness of his peril and Barton's violent mood swings.
It also describes glimpses of Barton's past and Billy's plight to escape.
