When you here someone say "That was the wireds book I've ever read." say to them, "You don't know Sh*t!" becuise I am reading the wirest book ever! I found "Mrs. God" by Peter Straub in my college's massive library and it's freaky. There were three factors that made me decide to read this: First, the title. Mrs. God? Who's that? God's secret house wife?! The second: the auother. Peter Straub did a collaboration with Stephen KIng: The Talisman. I was going to read that after The Dark Tower, but I piked up the Stand insted. So I'll read "Mrs. God" to get a fell of Mr.Straub writting style (and see if I difuse his from King when I do read the Talsmen). Thierd point: the frount cover and the illastrations found thoughout the book. Stuning. Beautiful and haunting paintings by Rick Berry. As for the polt....WEIRD. The book tales the tale (fiction,duh) of a Mr.Standish as he leaves his pregnat wife to travle to England to study his last grandmouthers poerty that was siad to inspier the great poet like T.S. Eliont and other "first Class " poets. Unforshedtly Mr.Standish is pleged by strange and wild dreams. Not only that, he begins to see things that aren't there or hears a lady laughing at him from dark empty couners. To show how wired these dreams are, I offer a segment from the book. I like this part becuise is semmed to...I don't...flow...as if I could see it happpenong. It from the fith chapter in which Standish is in the mist of a strange dream. To tottaly understand, you'll have to read it youself. This is just a taste,  
From page 84 of "Mrs. God" by Peter Straub
"And then Standish understood that he had lost everything. His familiar life had vanished, he was to be beheaded in this ugly and callous country, and the baby gasping on the table was not his baby. Black steam, ink, poison, filled his veins. He groaned- mingled terror and despair gathered at the center of his chest. His entire body became as heavy as water, as lead. He groaned again, at the end of his life, and in terror and despair woke up in a sunny bedroom at Esswood."

Werid stuff.
