B.J. Starink

B.J. Starink

Dutch author, dark-fiction storyteller, and creator of The Supreme Boogeyman universe.

B.J. Starink writes across sharply different audiences while returning to one recurring subject: fear. In his adult fiction, fear appears through psychological darkness, crime, violence, trauma, secrecy, moral uncertainty, and survival. In his children's work, fear becomes something that can be named, understood, challenged, and overcome.

His work ranges from psychological crime and horror titles such as Killed Innocence, Asmodil!, Stormie!, Unknown Tendencies, and Homicidal Tendencies to The Boogeyman's Club, the Boogeyman Beater concept, and an expanding universe of strange characters, dark humor, illustrated adventures, comics, and audio storytelling.

Current Featured Release: Killed Innocence

Killed Innocence by B.J. Starink

Psychological Crime Thriller

Killed Innocence moves Starink into psychological crime fiction with a story shaped by violence, betrayal, buried secrets, moral uncertainty, justice, trauma, and human resilience. The book keeps the darker psychological edge associated with his earlier work while grounding that intensity in crime, consequences, and the cost of uncovering the truth.

Books by B.J. Starink

Starink's adult catalog moves through psychological horror, supernatural darkness, disturbed behavior, crime, trauma, and survival. Rather than treating the darker books as disconnected titles, the catalog shows a consistent interest in people pushed to emotional and moral extremes.

Unknown Tendencies by B.J. Starink

Unknown Tendencies

Psychologically dark fiction built around unsettling behavior, fractured people, and the uncomfortable territory between what characters reveal and what they hide.

Homicidal Tendencies by B.J. Starink

Homicidal Tendencies

A title reflecting Starink's continuing interest in psychological extremes, darker human behavior, threat, consequence, and the point at which internal disturbance becomes external danger.

B.J. Starink as The Supreme Boogeyman

The children's side of Starink's work is not a simple departure from the adult fiction. It uses the same fascination with fear for a very different purpose. Under The Supreme Boogeyman identity, fear is treated as something children can recognize, talk about, and learn to face rather than something adults simply tell them is not real.

Nightwire Press describes The Supreme Boogeyman as an author working at the intersection of imagination, storytelling, and emotional resilience. Its May 2026 profile reported 12 books published and described The Boogeyman's Club as a platform offering free children's books, optional paid editions, and personalized stories built around individual fears, personality traits, emotional challenges, and preferred themes.

The Supreme Boogeyman

The Supreme Boogeyman

The central philosophy is not to pretend fear does not exist. The stories acknowledge the fear, give it a form, and help young readers imagine themselves responding to it with confidence rather than helplessness.

The Boogeyman's Club

The Boogeyman's Club

The project centers on the idea that children can become Boogeyman Beaters. Stories and related material are designed to normalize fear, encourage confidence and self-expression, and give children imaginative frameworks for understanding nightmares and self-doubt.

Comics, Illustrated Adventures & The Boogeyman Universe

The Boogeyman material is developing beyond a single children's series. Nightwire Press presents an expanding universe of recurring characters, dark humor, supernatural comedy, illustrated adventures, books, and audiobooks. The Auch Claw line is one of the clearest examples.

Auch Claw and the Boogeywiggle

Auch Claw steps into his own strange, comic corner of the Boogeyman universe. Nightwire Press describes the story as deliberately chaotic and unpredictable, including the origin of Giullo's zombie hand and the offbeat logic that defines the character's world.

The Revenge of Auch Claw

Book 2 • Dark Humor • Supernatural Comedy

The Revenge of Auch Claw

Auch Claw returns against the Boogeyboo, a two-faced enemy with one thought. The second installment pushes the series further into strange comedy, supernatural danger, and deliberately unruly storytelling.

The Eye of Doom

Book 3 • 9th Free Boogeyman Beater Club Book

The Eye of Doom

Tomas faces Diabolico, Auch Claw's zombie hand, and a threat to Angstland-Feartopia's all-seeing eye. Nightwire Press identifies it as both the third Auch Claw installment and the ninth free Boogeyman Beater Club book, tying the comic-dark-humor side of the universe back into the children's fear-facing series.

Books, Comics & Audiobooks

The universe now moves across more than one format. Nightwire Press directs readers to both written stories and audiobook versions, while recurring characters and illustrated adventures give the broader Boogeyman concept room to develop as a connected story world rather than a single title.

Fear Is the Common Thread

The adult books and children's work serve very different audiences, but the recurring creative interest is recognizable. Starink repeatedly writes about what fear does to people.

  • In psychological crime, fear can become secrecy, distrust, violence, and moral uncertainty.
  • In horror, fear can become supernatural threat, damaged perception, and survival.
  • In the Boogeyman universe, fear becomes something a child can identify, engage with, and push back against.
  • In the Auch Claw material, darkness is mixed with absurdity and humor, changing the emotional relationship with the frightening or strange.

That continuity gives Starink a broader author identity than any one genre label can capture.
