Ben looked away for only a second at the grocery store, but that was all it took. His brother was gone.

Still searching, while his stepmother sits and waits and whispers for Eric, refusing to leave the house that Ben's father can no longer afford. Now twenty and desperate for work, Ben takes a job on the night stock crew at the only place that will have him: the store that blinked Eric out of existence. Ben can feel there's something wrong there. With the people. With his boss. With the graffitied baler that shudders and groans and beckons. But he's in the right place. He knows the store has much to show him, so he keeps searching. Except Ben misses the most important thing of all.That he should have stopped looking.

"I was not a huge fan of Penpal, but figured I would give Bad Man a shot for the Nightworms group read. Apparently I have a hard time connecting with this author's writing. I could not get into this book. I read for quite a bit & nothing ever happened that held my attention. <br/><br/>The synopsis sounded really interesting, and I was looking forward to seeing where it went. Even the part I read was just dragged out, and there was a lot of information about the layout of a grocery store. I hope y'all have better luck with this one than I did."
"There’s definitely a plot twist at the end that you don’t see coming and that’s my favorite kind of plot "
