My mom didn't write, but she loved to read. She liked books 'that made you a little nervous. ' Stephen King, Dean Koontz and Peter Straub were the three wise men of our family bookshelf.
Terrifying. . . . A Dark Matter is populated with vivid, sympathetic characters, and driven by terrors both human and supernatural. It's the kind of book that's impossible to put down once it has been picked up. It kept me reading far into the night. Straub builds otherworldly terror without ever losing touch with his attractive cast of youngsters, who age beautifully. Put this one high on your list.
