It's a happy day for me because FAIRY TALE is published.
It's a sad day because my good friend and amazingly talented colleague and collaborator, Peter Straub, has passed away. Working with him was one of the great joys of my creative life.

Peter Straub was a hero and I was fortunate to get to know him over the last decade plus. The news of his passing is gutting. All the love and best to his family and legion of friends and admirers. pic.twitter.com/chSzO8IU6W

Peter Straub 1943-2022 One of the best writers I've read, one of the best friends I've known. Always kind, funny, irascible, brilliant. Once performed the Crow position in yoga, in a Milwaukee WI men's room, because he was fearless & proud of his yoga. I'll miss you Peter. pic.twitter.com/FwCafHoSGK
