On October 16, 1966, on a university campus in the Midwest, a traveling “guru” who allegedly visited Tibet and gained ancient wisdom there, Spencer Mallon, and his young followers performed a forbidden ritual. What actually happened there will forever remain a mystery. The result is a torn body in a local meadow and the broken souls of participants and witnesses. Forty years later, the popular writer Lee Garwell decided to play out in a new novel the incident that actually happened. He strives to find out the truth about the events of that horrific night. To do this, Garwell will have to force the participants of the sinister ritual to reconstruct in detail the disgusting events whose memory still haunts them. Dark Matter is an energetic, chilling novel with an unpredictable plot, once again proving that Peter Straub is a master of modern horror. .For the first time in Russian!
