The story of a man who goes to see a psychiatrist after the murder of his children at the hands of a monster that was hiding in their closet was told for the first time in The Boogeyman, which was published for the first time in the October, 1973 issue of Cavalier magazine. After some time had passed, in 1978, the story was included in a collection of Stephen King’s called Night Shift.
