With only his truck and a few possessions, he has moved cross-country to start a new life, taking a temporary holiday job at the post office in a small Massachusetts town. But when the urge calls him, Vann takes to the road, armed with a poisoned flask of liquor and a smile that strangers trust. Woe to those who accept his comfort—junkies, hitchhikers, a high school football star, Vann gathers his victims like moths to a flame. A harrowing journey inside the mind of a disquietingly compassionate psychopath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade into a motion picture, adapted and directed by Hampton Fancher, starring Owen Wilson, Janeane Garofalo, Brian Cox, Mercedes Ruehl, Dwight Yoakam, and Sheryl Crow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReader Praise for The Minus Man\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"McCreary's beautiful and poetic writing gives the book an unsettling and eerie mood that lingers long after the last page is rurned.\" --Josh Mauthe, Amazon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"McCreary's novel is spellbinding, using finely tuned skill to make the reader care for, if not love a murderer.\" --Ryan Costantino, Amazon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"One of the scariest books I have ever read.
