Julia is a 1975 novel by American writer 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 Full Circle (released in the USA as The Haunting of Julia), 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]
