Interior Darkness: Selected Stories

A MONUMENTAL COLLECTION OF SHORT FICTION FROM ACCLAIMED MASTER OF HORROR ANDÂ NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLINGÂ AUTHOR PETER STRAUB

â€œPeter Straub brilliantly defiesÂ and blurs literary genres.â€Â â€”LORRIE MOORE

An American icon renowned for his bestselling novels, Peter Straub displays his full and stunning range in this crowning collection. He has consistently subverted the boundaries of genre for years, transcending horror and suspense to unlock the dark, unsettling, and troubling dissonances that exist on the edges of our perception. Straubâ€™s fiction cracks the foundation of reality and opens our eyes to an unblinking experience of true horror, told in his inimitable and lush style with skill, wit, and impeccable craft.
Â Â Â With uncanny precision, Straub writes of the city and of the Midwest, of the depraved and of the righteous, of the working class and of the wealthyâ€”nothing and no one is safe from the ever-present darkness that he understands so well. â€œBlue Roseâ€ follows the cycles of violence and power through the most innocent among us, leading to a conclusion that is audacious and devastating. In the darkly satirical masterpiece â€œMr. Clubb and Mr. Cuff,â€ a stern estate lawyer known as the Deacon hires a pair of â€œPrivate Detectives Extraordinaireâ€ to investigate and seek revenge on his unfaithful wife. â€œThe Ballad of Ballard and Sandrineâ€Â follows a man and his much younger lover as theyÂ explore their decadent and increasingly sinister fantasies aboard a luxurious yacht on the remotest stretch of the Amazon River.Â
Â Â Â Interior Darkness brings together sixteen stories from twenty-five years of dazzling excellence. It is a thrilling, highly entertaining, and terrifying testament to the prodigious talent of Peter Straub.
