Summary: Thinking Man's horror
Review: What I like about Peter Straub is that his books make you think. Sometimes you're in the mood for a horror book or thriller that will not only entertain but make you think a bit as well. this book does just that. I purchased the audio version and thus didn't get all the stories that were in the print endition but from what I heard the stories were captivating. "blue Rose" was by far the best; though the ending was a bit of a let down not because of the story itself but because the character didnt' get his due. Another good one was "Bar Talk" which I suspect was a sort of a continuation of "blue Rose." I can't wait to start Koko which also expands the story of "blue Rose." all and all a good entertaining audiobook. The reader did a fine job narrating and I loved his deep smooth voice.

Summary: A House Can Be Without A Door, But Still Have A Window
Review: What I loved about this collection of stories was that in every one of them it showed the dark side of people who can at least be consisdered kind of normal. Peter Straub holds nothing back when it comes to his characters and it has always been a great rule of fiction to always tell the truth. Straub has told the truth here and may have dove too deep into it for some people's tastes.
