I was introduced to Peter Straub from American Library series HP Lovecraft he wrote an introduction and being a fan ever since.
-
I wonder if he and Stephen King have started on the third Talisman book yet. I heard that they were tossing around ideas a while back.
-
My favorite living fiction writer. He also seems like a nice person, and this is inspiring stuff.
-
I've recently became a fan when I started Reading Mystery. Since then, It gave my mobile dictionary a hefty amount of justice.

I have a completely fallacious point to make but could be true at a certain level.Peter
Straub states that the character "Eel" in Dark Matter is based on a Lee Boudreaux.
I feel it could also be based on the character Emily Proctor plays in Miami CSI. Her screen name is
Cally Du quesne. In the sixties E.E.Doc Smith based his sci fi series on
"Skylark" Duquesne.This is because at the end of the novel he calls Lee
Truax skylark.

I have finally ordered my copy of A DARK MATTER and really look forward to reading it. Mr. Straub is an American treasure. His two-volume AMERICAN FANTASTIC TALES from Library of American is a stunning anthology of great weird fiction, highly recommended!

Mr. Straup I love your work, thanks for the time you gave here. To somewhat arrogantly try to answer your question at the end, a man called Dan Simmonds takes me effortlessly from horror to sci/fi and back again, and yes I still have the jaw dropping moments in reading horror fiction that you and stephen king gave me as a young man in the 70's 80's and onwards. My short story "A Dangerous Thing" in "Terror Australis" (Hodder and Stoughton) would never have happened if it was not for you and King

Really an amazing interview. The kind you'd listen to again when the writing laziness strikes, it felt true. The part where you say that you need to have a friend that understand what you do is, in part, accomplished by listening to this. It's really ... satisfying? To know other writers do get to that "other place" to write. I felt less crazy a bit. ;)
Thank you Peter Straub.
