    About this audiobook

    A small-time arms dealer joins the big leagues of money and danger. He lands a major customer, the kind that governments and secret agencies watch. They'll meet soon in an isolated French village to carry out their vile transaction.
    Everyone's ready, including the buyers, several hired thugs, the womanizing dealer, two assassins and a thief. It's going to get ugly. Peter Straub takes us on a wild ride with plenty of action, suspense and some hair-raising surprises.

      Three Poems

      Mar 1, 2019

      War is coming but my neighbors can’t believe it. I ring their doorbells and tell them: maybe not this May, but next June at the latest. They stare straight past me, at the maze of lawns, the sprinklers, a kid on a bike hurling the Globe onto porches.

    • 4/5
      An excellent anthology by the Master himself. From the title story through The Signalman to Crooken Sands - all are the classic, chilling tales recognizable as Bram Stokers'.

      Short stories dealing with destiny, prophecies and retribution. Some of them are pretty spooky.
