Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Bestselling horror master Straub's first collection of non-fiction, a mixed bag that will appeal mostly to die-hard fans, includes two decades' worth of introductions (e.g., to an edition of The Stepford Wives) and a series of odd short essays by Straub's alter ego, fictional critic and academic Putney Tyson Ridge. While the introductions, especially the essay on Dracula, contain some useful and original material, the quirky and self-deprecating Ridge commentaries provide little insight into Straub's approach to his work. Straub's many admirers will be left hoping for his eventual equivalent to Stephen King's Danse Macabre.

PETER STRAUB ON PETER STRAUB, May 22 2008
By Jimi Harmonica "Jimi "book and music"" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sides (Hardcover)
I have read about everything Peter Straub has written, this is not a book for entertainment. He does however give great insight to the Authors and books that he reads (good food for thought), and gives some background information on the books he has written. If anything it is good to have on the shelf next to a collection (if you have one), to give others, in his own words, why or why not to read them.
