Peter Straub — THE SKYLARK Update and Review
Locus magazine just ran a lengthy review about Peter Straub’s The Skylark, the original (and 200 manuscript pages longer) version of what was to become his new novel, A Dark Matter. As Stefan Dziemianowicz noted, “As regards the differences between the two versions of the novel, The Skylark provides a more detailed linear account of events leading up to the event in the agronomy meadow, and fuller backstory for the characters… The publication of the two together constitutes a major event in horror publishing this early in the 21st century.”
Also, given the large number of direct orders we have on hand for The Skylark, we’ve decided not to fill large online retail and wholesale orders for this title.
