From the publisher

Experience the true nature of terror in this "deliciously imaginative" (San Francisco Chronicle) horror thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Peter Straub.

The quiet suburban town of Hampstead is threatened by two horrors. One is natural. The hideous unstoppable creation of man's power gone mad. The other is not natural at all. And it makes the first look like child's play...

"Unspeakable horror...has 'Bestseller' written all over it."--Los Angeles Times

"Straub's effects are quite spectacular...I was fairly awed by some of the more nightmarish scenes in Floating Dragon."--The New York Times
