Peter Straub
Peter Francis Straub (born March 2, 1943) is an American novelist and poet. His horror fiction has received numerous literary honors such as the Bram Stoker Award, World Fantasy Award, and International Horror Guild Award.
==Early life==
Straub was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the son of Elvena (Nilsestuen) and Gordon Anthony Straub.〔Roberts, James P. ''Famous Wisconsin Authors'', Badger Books Inc., 2002, pp. 167–173. ISBN 1-878569-85-6.〕〔()〕 At the age of seven, Straub was struck by a car, sustaining serious injuries. He was hospitalized for several months, and temporarily used a wheelchair after being released until he had re-learned how to walk. Straub has said that the accident made him prematurely aware of his own mortality.〔Morgan, John. ("Stephen King scares up support for fallen friend" ), ''USA Today'', Health section, published February 1, 2002. Retrieved April 29, 2008.〕
Straub read voraciously from an early age, but his literary interests did not please his parents; his father hoped that he would grow up to be a professional athlete, while his mother wanted him to be a Lutheran minister.〔Roberts, p. 168.〕 He attended Milwaukee Country Day School on a scholarship, and, during his time there, began writing.〔
Straub earned an honors B.A. in English at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1965, and an MA at Columbia University a year later. He briefly taught English at Milwaukee Country Day, then moved to Dublin, Ireland, in 1969 to work on a Ph.D., and to start writing professionally.
