Julia - Peter Straub

nThe #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ghost Story--and the master of American horror--tells the terrifying story of a woman who, in her desperation to flee the past, encounters an inexplicable aura of evil. n nJulia's first purchase upon leaving her husband is a large, old-fashioned house in Kensington, where she plans to live by herself, well away from her soon-to-be-ex and the home where their young daughter died. She feels a peculiar affinity for the house right away, a feeling that deepens with each glimpse of a mysterious little girl--blond, like her daughter--in the neighborhood, and even in her dreams n But the little girl and the big house have an inexplicable aura of evil. And Julia quickly discovers that escaping her past is not as simple as turning a key.n
