Peter Straub News
Peter Straub's novel "Under Venus" is being re-released. Subtly shaded and ripely evocative, Peter Straub's long unavailable second novel resonates with the gothic impulses he would soon acknowledge as his own and develop into mastery. Straub's legion of fans will be delighted by this early demonstration of his capacity for brilliant prose and dazzling imaginative complexity. Under Venus is an unsettling literary novel of an unsettling time that, on its merits as the work of a young writer hell-bent on finding his voice, richly deserves restoration to print.
