About this product

Product Information

Read by Beth MacDonald and Ron McLarty 8 Cassettes--14 Hours Straub mines new territory in this extraordinarily powerful collection of short fiction--territory marked by brutality, heartbreak, savagery, wonder, despair, and an unexpected humor which, although often arising from the narrator's unconscious revelation, ultimately leads to a germ of understanding. "Bunny is Good Bread" enters the mind of a small boy being raised in grotesque circumstances and portrays the creation of a serial killer in a manner that compels pity, sorrow, comprehension and a sense of grief as well as judgment.  "Hunger" narrated by the ghost of a pompous, self-pitying murderer, creates a profoundly beautiful vision of earthly life, one appreciated far more by the dead than the living.  "Mr. Club and Mr. Cuff" uses the material and structure of Melville's "Bartleby the Scrivener" to create a revenge tale in which torture is a moral art and the avenger undergoes a transforming education. Straub's devotees will be swept away by the potency of this collection and the uninitiated are in for a startling--if occasionally harrowing--literary treat.

Reviews
"When Peter Straub turns on all his jets, no one in the scream factory can equal him." -Stephen King "No one can speak the unspeakable as gruesomely as Peter Straub. The most magical thing about Magic Terror is its sheer bloodcurdling range: a variety of genre-defying tales, no two of the seven remotely resembling each other except in the brilliance of the invention and the writing, and in Straub's power to spook you out of your wits." -Donald Harington, author ofWhen Angels Rest "I have been a fan of the novelist Peter Straub ever since Ghost Story. That he can be just as compelling and scary in brief bites is a welcome revelation. Seven wonderful tales." -Donald Westlake, author ofThe Hook and The Ax From the Hardcover edition., "When Peter Straub turns on all his jets, no one in the scream factory can equal him." -Stephen King "No one can speak the unspeakable as gruesomely as Peter Straub.
