In the Night Room is the sequel to Lost Boy Lost Girl, this story is quite interesting in that it deals with wrapping up some lose ends in the first story.
The mix of fantasy and reality is furthered when a character from the hero's book moves into reality to help him resolve outstanding conflicts from the first book.
The multiplicity of worlds and living in the novel as a concept was really well done by Jasper Fforde's Thursday series. Straub's take on it, and its relationship to heaven and hell was interesting.
The sub-plot of the gay hero falling in love with his female protagonist was pretty interesting.
Overall the action was pretty restrained and the tension and suspense left the book more a drama and less a horror.
