A massively talented writer, one of the greatest stylists dark fiction has ever seen: also a charming, urbane and friendly man, extremely kind to younger writers, superb company always. https://t.co/srbbOmDbMk Born on March 2, 1943, Straub was a native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1965 where he studied English and earned a Masters degree in English from Columbia University. Later, he and his family shifted to Ireland, where he began pursing his Ph.D. but did not finish it. As per Peter Straub's official website, he developed an interest in storytelling from an early age following a vehicular accident where he almost survived. "Books took him out of himself, so he read even more than earlier, a youthful habit immeasurably valuable to any writer. And his storytelling, for in spite of everything he was still a sociable child with a lot of friends, took a turn toward the dark and the garish, toward the ghoulish and the violent. He found his first 'effect' when he discovered that he could make this kind of thing funny." GJ Refill@GJ_Refill"Marriages" by Peter Straub.
