If you like Peter Straub’s Ghost Story and you consider it a classic, good for you. In my opinion, he created a much better ghost story when he wrote this chiller, the first book I ever read by Straub! Julia isn’t just a ghost story, it’s also a mystery, a very suspenseful mystery, and that made it a pleasure for me to read! In my opinion, all of his fans should give it a try, especially if you’re a fan not only of horror novels, but also mystery-suspense novels! Fans of both genres will love this book which also makes a great introduction to Peter Straub for first time readers of this author’s fiction! Read Julia anytime you’re in the mood for a spooky good time and, I guarantee you, she will be good company!
