Over de Auteur

Author Peter Straub was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1943. He earned degrees in English from the University of Wisconsin and Columbia University. He taught English at his former high school for three years and worked for a time on his doctorate in Ireland. He began writing in 1969 and published toon meer two books of poetry in 1972. His novel Julia (1975) was an attempt to find a successful genre in which to work, after his first novel, Marriages (1973), did not sell well. He found that he had a talent for writing horror thrillers in the Gothic tradition. His stories are complex and well paced, with authentic settings that add to the believability of the plot. He is particularly good at creating grotesque characters and gruesome situations; the eeriness of his work is captivating. He has won numerous awards including the British Fantasy Award, the Bram Stoker Award, and the World Fantasy Award. (Bowker Author Biography) toon minder

Besprekingen

Een voorbeeld van een boek dat ik op die leeftijd net zo ongeveer begreep, maar genoot van het mysterie van waar ik nog niet helemaal bijkon. Past goed bij een boek over illusies, magie een persoonlijke ontwikkeling. Meer fantasy dan horror (waar Straub ook meesterlijk in was en af en toe samen schreef met Stephen King).
