From the bestselling author of Ghost Story, Shadowland, and The Talisman, a novella-length rumination on the nature of evil.
A Special Place, Peter Straub’s first published novella, will come to stand as one of the author’s most deeply unsettling works of fiction.
A rumination on the nature of evil, the story centers on a boy, Keith Hayward, who is drawn by his nature to an irresistible fascination with death and the taking of life.
His father’s brother, the good-looking, suave Uncle Till―the infamous ladykiller, who has led a shadowy career as a local celebrity―recognizes his nephew’s innermost nature and gleefully tutors him in art of doing ill without getting caught.
Even a cold-blooded sociopath must learn some lessons in survival, in seems, and Uncle Till is only happy to provide a tutorial, in the latest imaginative and disturbing work from one of America's most celebrated horror writers.
