LEESON PARK AND BELSIZE SQUARE by Peter Straub - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOK

"The book title...does not denote an intersection, but rather they are two addresses, in Dublin and London, where Mr. Straub lived and wrote fiction and poetry." A volume of poetry by Peter Straub, the acclaimed novelist & poet most famous for his horror fiction, such as the best-selling Ghost Story. The mood of this collection is gothic: Evocative, heavy & soaring like the images of Salisbury & Canterbury Cathedrals & the crypt at Rochester that grace the dust jacket covers & endpapers. Among the many themes explored are the life, work & milieu of Herman Melville (in the "Ishmael" section). A slim but essential collectible component in the Straub canon.
