«Mister X marca el triunfal regreso de Straub al relato de lo paranormal y lo sobrenatural... En esta novela hay escenas de puro horror que te obligan a cerrar los ojos. Cuando Peter Straub pone en marcha todos sus motores nadie lo supera. La trama es un desafío, la complejidad de los personajes resulta intrigante y el lenguaje constituye un deleite». —Stephen King Cuando se acerca su cumpleaños, y como cada año, Ned Dunstan sufre un shock durante el cual presencia escenas de despiadadas matanzas perpetradas por un misterioso y malévolo ser vestido de negro al que Ned llama Mister X. Dunstan regresa a su ciudad natal, Edgerton, impulsado por la premonición de que su madre, Star, se está muriendo. Antes de perder la vida, ella le revela el nombre de su padre y le advierte que corre un grave peligro. Pese a ello, Ned decide averiguar todo lo que pueda acerca de su padre ausente. Así, se desencadenarán una serie de extraordinarias aventuras que revelarán al protagonista la existencia de un hermano mellizo idéntico a él, y que tiene la capacidad de desafiar las leyes de la naturaleza. Esto desenmascara aspectos sobre su propia identidad, la de su familia y la del temible Mister X. Con esta novela, rebosante del ingenio característico del autor, de personajes vibrantes y de un brillante sentido del ritmo, Peter Straub demuestra que está en su mejor momento.
