Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Peter Straub is the author of fifteen novels, which have been translated into more than twenty languages. He has won the British Fantasy Award, two Bram Stoker awards, and two World Fantasy awards. He lives in New York City.
“A POWERFUL GATHERING OF
SUSPENSE AND HORROR STORIES.”
–The Denver Post
“Compelling . . . Magic Terror is bliss for readers whose love of
the eerie doesn’t preclude a taste for literary elegance. . . .
[Straub] is one of the few fin-de-siècle writers whose stories can
stand alongside works by 20th-century masters of the macabre such
as King, Robert Aickman, Shirley Jackson, and Edith Wharton.”
–The Washington Post Book World
“There is no safety in this literate and much praised cluster of
stories. It’s beautifully written stuff that breaks into the place
where you live, breaching all psychologically installed security
systems. . . . And although we desire to read it for many reasons,
the truest one is that Peter Straub writes with compassion. He gets
the link between modern horror and classic tragedy.”
–The Philadelphia Inquirer
