Again, a long time since I read it, but I recall enjoying that, with Straub tempering King's sometimes excesses (note, I like both authors). I would say/recall that Straub is more adult to King's child. I don't mean that King is "childish"...more that his stories are "childlike", and reach into our young fears, while Straub reaches at our adult fears. But both do them through adults and children.
But, it's been a long time...

Just a child.

I've decided that turning 40 is the ideal age to be as true to myself as I possibly can, however, erm, eccentric that may make me seem  This means I can carry on acting in a way that I might once have described as youthful exuberance, and also continue to be a grumpy old git when I feel like it. And in addition, it means I really wind up those people at work who are dreading turning 40 (or even 30)

Dragging it back on topic, I'm between reads right now. Concentrating on writing. Or thinking about writing, anyway...

I'm still going slow on Wallace's
'...Hideous Men', but no fault of the book. I could read it again from the start (and, in fact, have read a couple of the stories from the start, as memory needs jogging after a break).
Cheers,
