Book Reviews of Magic Terror
Book Review: Magically intriguing
Summary: 4 Stars
Intriguing, superlative collection of short tales from Peter Straub, an author often described as "the thinking man's Stephen King" (no offense to Mr. King!). At times deeply harrowing, but always vividly intoxicating, these tales are an excellet variety of thriller/horror/drama/romance/fantasy. "The Ghost Village" is a must for fans of his Blue Rose Trilogy (especially "Koko); "Ashputtle" is deeply unsettling, with its subtle but unnerving outcome; "Hunger, An Introduction" is a haunting gothic ghost tale; "Mr Clubb and Mr Cuff" is a fun, malicious revenge tale. A must for fans of Straub, and also recommended for those not yet familiar with his novels, a perfect introduction to the unease and superb narrative this author provides.
