Love it. Definitely worth reading. Reminds me a lot of IT.
It does, dioesn't it. To my taste a bit too much but it it is definitely worth reading even if it does not compare with IT.
Just finished Up the Down Staircase. What a wonderful book. I'm about to start Katie by Michael McDowell. kingricefan turned me on to this author and everything I have read so far has been very satisfying. Looking forward to this one.
Just finished Rose Madder, hadn't read it for years and had forgotten what it was about. Not bad. I'm on and off reading the Dark Tower series again so it's Song of Susannah next.
Jo Nesbo The Son. Very twisty and turny. Much better that his detective series. Just finished the EW exerpt of Finders Keepers. Can't wait for more.
Just finished Bag of Bones. Onto Born of Defiance by Sherrilyn Kenyon and I'm waiting for the next volume of The Walking Dead comics to arrive at the library!
Katie is another good one!! I need to find a copy for my collection again....
This book is getting to me. I was reading Ghost Story, and had just gotten through reading a scary scene , when I got summoned to do a late night run to the grocery store. When I'm getting ready to get in my car to drive home, it looks like their is someone sitting in the back passenger side of my car: a fire truck goes howling by instantly diverting my attention and when I look back in my car its empty so is the rest of the parking lot.
1.The Dreadful Yellow Eye as read by Robert Petkoff. I think Petkoff's one of the best I've heard on audio. He's got a great McGee voice, Meyer voice, and all the other characters.
2.The Darktower, Number Two.

Ghost Story is an amazing novel by an amazing novelist. Julia is another that will keep you looking in the dark corners.
Have you read his Headhunters? LOVE that book, and the movie made from it
Sorry, that was me. Had too much to drink at a bar and was too tired to walk all the way home so after checking numerous cars for an unlocked door I came across yours, crawled in and went to sleep. I'll send along some cash so you can get some new undies!
Really liking it so far. And the beginning takes place in NJ, my home state!
Yet another to add to my list. I'm just going to have to quit my job to get all these books read. My wife should be ok with that, right?
Though I've read several Straub books, Ghost Story is the only one I liked enough to read again. It really is well done. Not a big fan of his overall style.
Finished Murder as a Fine Art--it was pretty good! Bonus: looking at the 50s book of English Romantic prose and poetry that I got last week, Thomas De Quincey's Confessions of an English Opium Eater--a part of this series, as De Quincey is a main character in both books--is contained within! Going to read that, then get Morrell's 2nd book in the series. Starting Moriarty (Anthony Horowitz) later today. Victorian crime fiction is appealing to me lately My friend's third book in her Victorian crime series comes out in November, so I should be well up to speed on her setting by then.

Yeah, I can see why someone wouldn't care for his writing style. I've always thought of him as the author equivalent of Stanley Kubrick.
Very apt--I don't like Kubrick much either
He tends to get a little strange. I did love Floating Dragon....wow.Very apt--I don't like Kubrick much either
