  • PETER STRAUB: PICTURES in the FIRE by John Tibbetts NYC 2011
    PETER STRAUB: PICTURES IN THE FIRE By John Tibbetts NYC 2011 He knew that the street with its rising lawns and tall elms was only a picture over the face of a terrible fire. —Peter Straub, “In the Realm of Dreams” The secret that resides in the life and work of the man who has written some of the darkest, most complex, and most disturbing tales of literary horror (he staunchly defends the genre), is that Peter Straub is a kind, generous, and sensitive man, esteemed among his peers and would-be writers alike. Moreover, he’s funny. He smiles a lot. Take that as you please. I think it might be the most authentically enigmatic thing about him. I’ve come to interview Peter at his five-story townhouse on Manhattan’s Upper West Side on a bright sunny day in late May. Peter Straub is a big man, over six feet, sturdily built, with a round face that irrepressibly breaks into quick bursts of laughter. The night before, he had given a public reading of a new story at a Manhattan bookstore, “The Ballad of Ballard and Sandrine” (it appears in issue 56 [2011] of the literary journal, Conjunctions). THE INTERVIEW “It’s a very strange piece of work,” Straub confides, as we settle ourselves in his parlor near a brightly sunlit window overlooking West 85th Street. “Afterward I met my great friends, Leo and Diane Dillon.” Straub suddenly pauses and leans forward confidentially: “Diane told me about something very strange. She told me that once she saw from her apartment window something that looked like a flying saucer that was moving across the sky.
