CENTIPEDE PRESS "Ghost Story" by Peter Straub, SIGNED, Slipcased, Sealed New. Sealed. Signed edition. Signed by the late Peter Straub.       Peter Straub’s 1979 masterpiece, Ghost Story, is undoubtedly one of the seminal works of supernatural horror, receiving both critical and commercial success upon publication. Fusing elements of traditional horror with Straub’s own profundity for psychological torment, it depicts a sprawling and ambitious account of a town and its residents’ steady descent into ruin. The result ushered in a new brand of horror steeped in the mythos of American ghost stories with a contemporary twist.        Ghost Story also solidified Straub’s reputation, etching his name into the Mount Rushmore of horror next to the likes of M.R. James, H.P. Lovecraft, and his counterpart in consternation, Stephen King.        At an oversize 6½ × 10 inches in size, with stamped and printed cloth, slipcase, printed endpapers, and a load of extras. Each book is signed by Peter Straub, Douglas Smith, and Vladimir Zimakov. Limited to 500 copies, each signed by Peter Straub, Douglas Smith, and Vladimir Zimakov.
