Interior Darkness: Selected Stories - Peter Straub

nThe #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ghost Story and an American icon of horror explores the deepest, shadow-filled corners of his imagination in these sixteen stories.

• Straub's shorter fictions are like tiny novels you drown in: perfectly pitched, terrifyingly smart, big-hearted, dangerous, and even cruel. --Neil Gaiman, bestselling author of The Sandman n No one and no place is safe from the darkness that he reveals. In Blue Rose, an adolescent sociopath inflicts secret violence on his younger brother; in Mr Clubb and Mr. Cuff, a stern estate lawyer hires a pair of Private Detectives Extraordinaire to investigate and seek revenge on his unfaithful wife; and in The Ballad of Ballard and Sandrine, a man and his much younger lover explore their decadent and increasingly sinister fantasies aboard a luxurious yacht on the remotest stretch of the Amazon River. Interior Darkness is a thrilling and terrifying testament to Straub's unparalleled contribution to the world of horror.n
