    Summary note
    "Horror novelist Peter Straub creates highly personalized fiction with an allusiveness and ambiguity that deny the genre's explicit nature. For him, the Gothic style is to be created and recreated in a changing world. Drawing on interviews with Straub and featuring an exclusive interview with King, this study explores the work of the author"-- Provided by publisher.
