I'm reading Koko by Peter Straub, on recommendation from a friend. Really enjoying it too. I've previously read (and loved) Ghost Story by him, and Koko is, so far, more psychological. It could be argued that his books are too long, as Koko is a beast, but he writes characters well. I'm 2/3 of the way through and surprisingly little has actually happened, but again it's the characters and the sense of impending doom that draws you in.
