Ive heard Shadowland is one of the best horror novel of the 19th century. Also heard its a tough read as Straub likes to put kinda spin you around so to speak.
Let us know how it was please.

I liked
20th Century Ghosts - Some stories are definitely stronger than others, and I think that he creates better vignettes than he does full-out stories, but for the most part, the stories kept my interest.
I loved
Heart-Shaped Box and highly recommend to people who are looking for a good, solid ghost story.
Haven't ready Horns yet - Anyone on here read
Horns?
...
I'm currently spending my reading time juggling
A Dream of Perpetual Motion by Dexter Palmer and
All-New Tales, a short story compilation edited by Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio (Ok, but not great - There's been one story that I've truly enjoyed so far and it was one of Gaiman's: "The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains," which was a fantastic folk tale - I think he truly shines with these).
