The Best of Richard Matheson
Richard Matheson, Victor LaVallee (editor)Among the greats of 20th-century horror & fantasy, few names stand above Richard Matheson. Though known by many for novels like I Am Legend & his sixteen Twilight Zone episodes, Matheson truly shines in his chilling, masterful short stories. Since his first story appeared in 1950, virtually every major writer of science fiction, horror, & fantasy has fallen under his influence, including Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Peter Straub, & Joe Hill, as well as filmmakers like Stephen Spielberg & J.J. Abrams. Matheson revolutionized horror by taking it out of Gothic castles & strange cosmos & setting it in the darkened streets & suburbs we recognize as our own. He infused tales of the fantastic & supernormal with dark explorations of human nature, delving deep into the universal dread of feeling alone & threatened in a dangerous world.
The Best of Richard Matheson brings together his greatest hits as chosen by Victor LaValle, an expert on horror fiction & one of its brightest talents, marking the first major overview of Matheson's legendary career.
