Reviews for Magic Terror
40 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I like supporting a semi-local writer (Straub is from Milwaukee, WI), but this is not one of his best.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I wasn't impressed. The last story is the only good one.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Magic Terror is a short story collection from Peter Straub. I typically like his novels and thought I would give his short stories a try. Unfortunately, this collection did not measure up to what I typically expect from Straub. Most of these stories were not particularly interesting or well written. Of the seven stories, the ones that I did enjoy were “Porkpie Hat”, which is about an alcoholic saxophone players who had a childhood experience with witchcraft and murder. I also enjoyed “The Haunted Village”, which is linked to Straub’s novel Koko. The use of these familiar characters worked well in this story. All in all, this was a disappointing collection, and I would recommend skipping it.Carl Alves – author of Blood Street
