About this ebook

Footsteps echo in the darkness. We know not the passengers they carry. We cannot recognize their power, alleviate their burden, or understand their pain. We can never comprehend their sorrow, ease their loneliness, or experience their fear. The Gatherers and Hunters walk among us. They are everywhere, yet we do not know them.

.But they know one another.

Within its borders, what appears seldom is. The impossible is common. Identity is fluid. Death is not the end. Places exist not found on any maps, but they are there, known to those whose footsteps echo in the darkness.

.Welcome to Oogie Boogie Central.

Meet Milo Tucker, a quick-witted store detective, and Alex Harrison, a tragic youth who works in a bookstore. Their lives intersect when they confront Theodore Munsch, West Virginia's most notorious serial killer, and both are forced to confront their greatest doubts, their deepest fears.

.And a murderer who will not die.

M. Stephen Lukac

Steve is a married father of three, a professional bookseller and a still-aspiring writer. OOGIE BOOGIE CENTRAL was released in 2003, followed by BUT THEN AGAIN, YOU'LL HAVE THIS... later that year. In February 2008, Delirium Books released the long-awaited sequel OOGIE BOOGIE BOUNCE, simultaneously with a new edition of CENTRAL. Steve's also a bit of a smart ass, which will come as no surprise to regular readers.

    I picked this book at the recommendation of a friend, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It takes place in Charleston, WV (which completely thrills me, because I grew up in WV) and involves a strange mix of multiple personalities, serial killers, life after death, and shop lifters. Lukac's writing is clear, and the themes and ideas introduced in this novel are incredibly intriguing. I can't wait to pick up Oogie Boogie Bounce, which I've heard is even better than this book.My only complaint of the book as a whole is the character Philip Ducalion. He is a very important character - I won't say why because I don't want to spoil the book for anyone who hasn't read it. I just felt as if he was developed enough. He wasn't introduced until later in the book, and then I wasn't sure why he was introduced. It was all very unclear to me, and still is even though I've finished the book.
