Scott,
Since horror seems to be your forte, I was curious as to whether you
might be planning to scan the new Peter Straub novel Dark Matter. It
looks really interesting; like the one you mention here, it seems to
be character driven, and traces the effects of an event in four
people's teen years on the rest of their lives.
Thanks,
Courtney
