A review by stevie_2e
A Dark Matter by Peter Straub

2.0

I have typically enjoyed Straub's writing, but this novel was a chore. I struggled with giving up entirely - something I rarely do - but kept plodding along hoping at some point I'd be rewarded for my determination. The only reward was at last reaching the final word on the last page. Sadly, the characters were fragmented and unknowable, I didn't care much about them at all. Their common thread was a heavy subject but the reveal was much ado about nothing.
