Small Town. Big Terror. Unforgettable Horror.
What happens when a quiet suburb is hit by not one, but two terrifying forces—one rooted in science, the other in something far more sinister?
In Floating Dragon, bestselling author Peter Straub weaves a chilling tale of suspense that blends psychological thrills with supernatural horror. Set in the suburban town of Hampstead, this intense novel follows four unlikely allies as they battle a terrifying evil threatening to consume everything in its path. One threat stems from a chemical accident. The other... defies explanation entirely.
This story is eerie, mystical, and full of nonstop action. Readers often say it takes a bit to settle into Straub’s rhythm, but once it hooks you, you won’t want to stop turning the pages. From character-driven tension to otherworldly chills, it’s a haunting reminder of what lurks just beneath the surface of everyday life.
