Interior Darkness


Interior Darkness by Peter Straub, 478 pages
“These 16 stories by renowned horror author Straub plumb the depth of the human consciousness, bringing to light the darkness that lives in each of us and exposing the secrets we keep-not only from the world but from ourselves. "Blue Rose" depicts the first steps of a child down the path of sociopathy; "Mr. Clubb and Mr. Cuff" reminds us that the old adage "what goes around comes around" is very true; and "Ashputtle" presents a twisted version of one of the world's most beloved fairy tales.” All of these stories were ok but none really spoke to me.  Fans of Straub’s work will probably like it, but I just thought it was ok.
