Title: Typical Straub
Product review: Not having read Straub for some time, I decided to come back for another try. Sorry, I still find him tedious, boring and simply not scary. To have him compared to Stephen King is absurd ! Most of these stories are utterly uninteresting and written with at least twice the verbage needed. "Hunger, An Introduction" actually is painfull to try to complete. I found myself skimming pages just to get it over with. "Bunny Is Good Bread" is incredibly sick and perverted. More than any other story in this book, it shows how far behind Straub is from his hero Stephen King (or a score of other writers).If you must read it, get it from the library. Do NOT buy it.
