Peter Straub and Transcendental Horror
Traditionally regarded as a literature of affect, horror has been employed in the work of Peter Straub and other contemporary writers to generate an effect which they have called transcendence. Straub and others have talked in interviews about the difficulty in elucidating this idea and have developed specific narrative strategies to approach it. This paper attempts to identify and describe these strategies in such Straub novels as lost boy lost girl (2003) and In the Night Room (2004) as well as several short stories. Such works comment thematically on storytelling through manipulation of point of view, metatextual techniques, and layered or embedded narrative worlds, all serving to create a feeling of revelatory horror through which may be achieved a more complex understanding of the world. Other writers who have employed similar techniques include Kelly Link, M. Rickert, and Jeffrey Ford.
