Discuss About Books Shadowland

Some of the more surreal moments, as well as the occasional switches in narratives, made this book a little hard to follow at times, but there IS a reason I gave this book five stars: it was terrific. It's not the all-out horror fest that the cover (of the 1980's paperback) promised, but there were some truly gruesome scenes towards the climax, as well as a general tone of mounting tension throughout.Tom Flanagan is a very memorably three-dimensional young protagonist, and all the conflicts of

This book I read when I was a teenager. It is a fantastic book by a literary great.Finished reading it again recently while I was away. I enjoyed it again. Five stars.👍🐯

Strange to think that a perfectly good novel can be ruined by a few missteps, but that's the case for me here. Shadowland is, for the most part, impeccably written. Straub is a smart author, an intellectual even, and the rather clinical arm's length he keeps from his subject and characters is interesting and distinctive. Although that means empathy with his protagonists is nearly impossibly to achieve, I don't necessarily need that if there are things happening that keep my mind active and my

Peter Straub can do no wrong apparently. 5 stars, all the way!

Not sure what happened here, although I suspect it was the case of success bloat. Straub's first ventures into supernatural (If You Could See Me Now and Julia) were lean, mean thriller (thrilling)machines. Shadowland must be where he veered off into the prolixity of later years. I had such high expectations for this book based not only on how much I liked the Straub's aforementioned works, but also on the love I have for the subject. Magic, how can you go wrong with magic. It's innately fun. And

Read this book again, some 30 years plus, after I first stole it out of my school library. Same edition, yellowed by time. I've always said this was one of my favourite horror novels, and this re-read, all these years later did nothing to dissuade me from this opinion. It's a classic horror tale, which upon second reading I see similarities in minor ways to Stephen King's The Shining.In this book two boys spend a summer at a magician's house, the magician being the uncle of one of the boy's,

Shadowland was one of the first horror books I read growing up (I think I may have been twelve at the time that I read it). Along with some of the early works of Stephen King, it was one of the big reasons I became addicted to the genre and later became a writer. Shadowland is a richly written, complex books that I quickly became engrossed in. Shadowland follows two friends Del and Tom in boarding school. Both boys are into magic and dabble at it while they are in school. After the school year
