Publisher Description
'The best thing of its kind since Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House'
Newsweek
In the sleepy town of Milburn, New York, four old men gather to tell each other stories: some true, some made-up, all of them frightening. A simple pastime to divert themselves from their quiet lives.
But one story is coming back to haunt them and their small town. A tale of something they did long ago. A wicked mistake. A horrifying accident. And they are about to learn that no one can bury the past forever . . .
Ghost Story is number one New York Times-bestselling author Peter Straub's classic tale of horror, secrets and the dangerous ghosts of the past.
Customer Reviews
First rate storyteller
I first read this as a paperback novel 20 years ago, re reading it now it had a new dimension for me and has lost none of it's relevance. From the opening you are drawn into the tale and form relationships with the characters, essential to keep you going. Straub is a first rate story teller, if you enjoy the story as much as the joy of reading a very well written book, read this.
