Shadow Land – Peter Straub

Shadow Land Peter Straub

A supernatural horror novel that has strong elements of fantasy and magic. The book chronicles the tale of two teenage boys and their adventure in the mysterious and dangerous Shadowland where reality and illusions are intertwined.

The two teenage boys, Tom Flanagan, and Del Nightingale, attend a prestigious all boys private school called Carson's. The freshmen students are at the whims of the seniors, most notably, Steve Skeleton Ridpath, son of Coach Ridpath, one of many mean and troublesome teachers at Carson. Tom befriends several of the freshmen and bonds with them over the school year. Tom and Skeleton are haunted by ghostly visions of vultures and of a nightmarish figure that Del seems to know. Skeleton becomes insane and sociopathic over the course of the novel and behaves strangely during school because of these occurrences. Del and Tom bond over their shared love of magic, which Del is an expert at and demonstrates to Tom during their school year.
