I am happy to hear I am not the only one who doesn't care for this guys books. I couldn't even finish GHOST STORY when we did it for the bookclub, everyone else raved about it.

Yeah, I keep trying to get through Ghost Story because I've heard so many say it's a terrific book, but I can't seem to do it.

I had problems finishing GHOST STORY also. I like Straub's later work, like LOST BOY, LOST GIRL, which is far less ornate and far more readable.

Yes, it and its sequel In the Night Room I thought were much more enjoyable. But I'm just repeating myself.
