Peter Straub	Daryl Gregory

An all around horrifically wonderful night with Peter Straub & Daryl Gregory.  The house was packed, I tell you.  But those who attended got a great show.  Daryl read from The Devil’s Alphabet and Peter read from A Darker Matter.  Both excerpts were haunting and excellent.
