Publisher Description
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ghost Story—and the master of American horror—tells the terrifying story of a woman who, in her desperation to flee the past, encounters an inexplicable aura of evil.
Julia’s first purchase upon leaving her husband is a large, old-fashioned house in Kensington, where she plans to live by herself, well away from her soon-to-be-ex and the home where their young daughter died. She feels a peculiar affinity for the house right away, a feeling that deepens with each glimpse of a mysterious little girl—blond, like her daughter—in the neighborhood, and even in her dreams
But the little girl and the big house have an inexplicable aura of evil. And Julia quickly discovers that escaping her past is not as simple as turning a key.
Customer Reviews
Creepy ghost story!
If you like Peter Straub’s Ghost Story and you consider it a classic, good for you. In my opinion, he created a much better ghost story when he wrote this chiller, the first book I ever read by Straub! Julia isn’t just a ghost story, it’s also a mystery, a very suspenseful mystery, and that made it a pleasure for me to read! In my opinion, all of his fans should give it a try, especially if you’re a fan not only of horror novels, but also mystery-suspense novels! Fans of both genres will love this book which also makes a great introduction to Peter Straub for first time readers of this author’s fiction! Read Julia anytime you’re in the mood for a spooky good time and, I guarantee you, she will be good company!
