It was the bizarre and gruesome conclusion to nine months of alleged  paranormal activity at the fast-food joint—events popularly known as “the Burger  City Poltergeist.” The story inspired Facebook memes, Twitter hashtags, Buzzfeed  listicles, Saturday Night Live sketches, and more. But the case was never much more  than a punchline…until bestselling writer Daniel Kraus (\u003ci\u003eThe Shape of Water, The  Living Dead\u003c\/i\u003e) decided to head to Iowa to dig up what really happened.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePresented here is the definitive story of “the most exhaustively documented  haunting in history,” including—for the first time ever—interviews with every living  survivor of the tragedy. The employees of Burger City were a family. They loved one  another. At least, at the beginning. But love can make you do unspeakable things.\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49325444596016,"sku":"BDg6ld","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/361217-g6ld-Square.jpg?v=1733586803","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-g6ld","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
