Media Reviews
'Far and away the best book Peter Straub has ever done ! moves like an express train. Dick Dart alone is worth the price of admission.' Stephen King 'Enough fearful twists for everyone ! wildly inventive, highly entertaining ! the story lifts off the page and soars irresistibly.' New York Times 'Powerful psychothriller suspense ! complex, intriguing, with multiple, meshing plots in which the sins of the past power the active evil of the present.' Washington Post 'Straub's most riveting read since Ghost Story ! a harrowing, spellbinding story.' Bradford Morrow
