Over the past month or so I've repurchased four books from my (let's call it...) youth. I have lost a lot of stuff from my childhood home and while I can't replace everything, I do like that I can some things.
In this case, the items are actually upgrades.
Picked up hardback copies of #StephenKing ,errr #PeterStraub (ha) #TheTalisman and #TheBlackHouse. Also grabbed hardbacks of #CliveBarker #WeaveWorld and #Imajica. (I've also got autographed copies of #Everville and #TheGreatAndSecretShow, but those were picked up years ago)
I've read them all in paperback way, way back in the day, but I like the security of hardback.
All I know is, I'm gonna be pissed if Amazon ever buys #ThriftBooks.

• Stephen King writes Salem’s Lot.
• Peter Straub likes it and includes an homage to it in his own novel, Ghost Story.
• Stephen King writes A Winter’s Tale, which is similar to Ghost Story in that a group of old men tell ghost stories.
• Stephen King dedicates A Winter’s Tale to Peter Straub and Susan Straub.So that’s King returning the favor of the homage, right? It sounds obvious when I lay out that timeline, but I haven’t seen anything where King confirms that.

Peter Straub. Good writer but yet I am to find a book by him with likeable polish character. I might be just lucky but they were present in every one I read and usually resembled cabbage-smelling troglodytes. Anyway, "The Throat" starts promising. And I like cabbage

When writing Ghost Story, Peter Straub was inspired by Stephen King’s ‘Salem’s Lot and paid homage with a beginning and ending that mirrored King’s novel’s own bookends.
Did Stephen King repay the favor in his novella A Winter’s Tale: The Breathing Method? The Club bears many similarities to Straub’s Chowder Society. Is it a knowing nod?

I admit when it comes to knowledge of Peter Straub's work, I am lacking. I know of him thanks to his collaborations with Stephen King (The Talisman, Black House). When Straub passed away last Sept, I felt I had missed something by not enjoying his writing while he was still on this earth.
Many said at the time that Shadowland is his best work. I'm reading it now. Slow going, but good so far.

This is what I imagine The Alhambra Inn & Gardens in #theTalisman to look like https://mastodon.me.uk/@bartonbishoff/109774420355553995 #stephenKing #peterStraub
