ISBN: 9780385542920.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReddit horror sensation Dathan Auerbach delivers a devilishly dark novel about a young boy who goes missing, and the brother who wont stop looking for him.\n\nEric disappeared when he was three years old. Ben looked away for only a second at the grocery store, but that was all it took. His brother was gone. Vanished right into the sticky air of the Florida Panhandle.\n\nThey say youve got only a couple days to find a missing person. Forty-eight hours to conduct searches, knock on doors, and talk to witnesses. Two days to tear the world apart if theres any chance of putting yours back together. Thats your window.\n\nThat window closed five years ago, leaving Bens life in ruins. He still looks for his brother. Still searches, while his stepmother sits and waits and whispers for Eric, refusing to leave the house that Bens father can no longer afford. Now twenty and desperate for work, Ben takes a night stock job at the only place that will have him: the store that blinked Eric out of existence.\n\nBen can feel that theres something wrong there. With the people. With his boss. With the graffitied baler that shudders and moans and beckons. Theres something wrong with the air itself. He knows hes in the right place now. That the store has much to tell him. So he keeps searching. Keeps looking for his baby brother, while missing the most important message of all.\n\nThat he should have stopped looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Doubleday","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44959886802997,"sku":"ByrdShop_0385542925","price":33.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780385542920_5696ac9d-d0f8-4c6a-bc8a-b807eea78d5c.jpg?v=1778670037","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/bad-man-a-novel-9780385542920","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
