Book summaryAs he nears his 35th year, and the dreaded birthday party sure to accompany it, a series of bizarre premonitions draw Ned Dunstan home--and closer to his own mysterious past.Media Reviews"In MR. X, Straub returns to the horror like a sometimes impish, thoroughly self-aware, jazz master who redefines an old standard and opens worlds within worlds. -- Faren Miller, Locus "At 500 pages, this is a shaggy, rambling tale that is frequently scary but often lacks pace. There are enough themes and ideas here for several books, but Straub throws them all into a big commercial blender; while the result is less than compelling, it is certainly entertaining." -- Chris Petrakos, Chicago Tribune Books "In Straub's latest, a return to the supernatural, Ned Dunstan discovers some spooky things about his identity when he hits 35." -- Faren Miller, Library Journal Publisher NotesThe bestselling author of "Ghost Story" returns to the supernatural genre for the first time in over a decade. Over the week culminating in his 35th birthday, Ned Dunstan endures a series of extraordinary events which reveal the long-withheld secret of his identity. Other Recommended Books
