Book Description:

Horror novelist Peter Straub creates highly personalized fiction with an allusiveness and ambiguity that deny the genre's explicit nature. Drawing on interviews with Straub and featuring an exclusive interview with Stephen King, this study explores the work of the author who has been called "a writer of rare wit and intelligence in a field beset with cynical potboilers."
