Julia is a 1975 novel by Peter Straub.[1] The work is Straub's first novel to deal with the supernatural and was published through Coward, McCann & Geoghegan.[2] Julia was later adapted into the 1977 film The Haunting of Julia (occasionally referred to as Full Circle) starring Mia Farrow.[3]
The work is Straub's third novel and his second published novel, as Under Venus was not officially published until 1984.[4] Straub began writing Julia at the advice of his literary agent after Under Venus was rejected by his publishers, as his agent recommended that he try writing a gothic novel.[5]
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.
