Floating Dragon: The 30th Anniversary Edition

Floating Dragon: The 30th Anniversary Special Limited Edition
by Peter Straub

About the Book:
The terrors afflicting the sleepy town of Hampstead, Connecticut, were beyond imagination.

Sparrows dropping dead from the trees like rotten fruit, disfiguring diseases spreading like wildfire, inexplicable murders and child drownings shattering the lives of the citizens—never can such a list of horrors have afflicted one town.

But the evil madness had a long history.

A catastrophe had struck Hampstead every thirty years since its foundation 300 years before — yet only Graham Williams, a writer and descendant of one of the original founders, had looked into the 'black summers' and their mysterious origins.

When he discovers that descendants of the three other original settlers are back living in the town, he knows it will be the blackest summer yet...

— San Francisco Chronicle

"Here is a novel guaranteed to double the national nightmare quotient, so watch out."
— Cosmopolitan

"Buy it today. Anything by Straub is worth several thousand John Sauls and a million V.C. Andrewses."
— Philadelphia Inquirer

"Straub's effects are quite spectacular...I was fairly awed by some of the more nightmarish scenes in Floating Dragon."
— The New York Times
