Magic Terror

No one tells a story like Peter Straub. He dazzles with the richness of his plots and the eloquence of his prose. He startles you into laughter in the face of events so dark that you begin to question your own moral compass. Then he reduces you to jelly by spinning a tale so terrifying—and surprising—that you have to sleep with the lights on. Now, the master of macabre is at his absolute best, giving us seven exquisite tales of living, dying, and the terror that lies in between, in his finest and most imaginatively unsettling collection yet.
