Synopsis

Julia is a 1975 novel by American writer Peter Straub. The work is Straub's first novel to deal with the supernatural and was published through Coward, McCann & Geoghegan. Julia was later adapted into the 1977 film Full Circle (released in the USA as The Haunting of Julia), starring Mia Farrow. The work is Straub's third novel and his second published novel, as Under Venus was not officially published until 1984. 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.
