A Dark Matter by Peter Straub

4.0

A fully enveloping experience of a novel. The territory covered includes how the past controls the present in a person's life, the 60s, mysticism and alternative universes, and serial killers. This makes it sound trite and overblown, but Straub does a great job of digging deep into his subjects without rehashing old work. The only weak point is a limp ending, but the amazing middle part of the book more than makes up for this. Highly recommended.
