Julia (novel)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julia is a 1975 novel by Peter Straub. It was the author's third novel, but the second to be published (his second book, Under Venus, would not be released until 1984). Julia is notable among Straub's bibliography because it is his first novel to deal with the supernatural. It was published by Coward, McCann & Geoghehgan. It was adapted into the 1977 film The Haunting of Julia starring Mia Farrow; the film is also sometimes known as Full Circle.

Synopsis

Julia Lofting has just purchased a large house in London as a means of escaping her overbearing husband, Magnus, and to start her life over following the death of her nine-year-old daughter, Kate. But she begins to suspect that she is not alone, and after a seance is held at her home she comes to fear that a malevolent supernatural presence is stalking her.
