A review by lizella
A Dark Matter by Peter Straub

2.0

This book was a slow-paced mystical mystery. A group of high school and college kids are lead to conduct a dark magic rite by a college professor. Some live and some die, but they are all changed by the experience. The husband of one of the participants that was not involved starts on a journey to learn more about what happened that day decades later. He reconnects with those still around to learn what they experienced and how it has changed the course of their lives. The repercussions of the event are deep and changes his understanding about many relationships and events over the years.

I found the book to be a bit slow, but interesting from the perspective that the event had time to fully reveal its devastation and significance over a lifetime as opposed to looking at the event in the immediate aftermath.
