I'm enjoying Straub's prose. I discovered him around Halloween, when I read one of his short stories in October Dreams: A Celebration of Halloween. When I saw a small number of his novels at the store, Ghost Story seemed pretty promising.

If you do like Ghost Story, I'd suggest reading If You Could See Me Now and Julia next. Unfortunately, Straub's work has seen a decline in recent years, and I don't think anything he's written lately has been up to the standard of his earlier work.
