The Best of Richard Matheson By Richard Matheson

'Perhaps no other author living is as responsible for chilling a generation with tantalizing nightmare visions.' - The New York Times

Among the greats of twentieth century horror and fantasy, few names stand above Richard Matheson.

Though known by many for novels like I Am Legend and his sixteen Twilight Zone episodes, Matheson truly shines in his chilling, masterful short stories.

Matheson revolutionized horror by taking it out of Gothic castles and strange cosmos and into the darkened streets and suburbs we recognize as our own.

He infuses tales of the fantastic and supernatural with dark explorations of human nature, delving deep into the universal dread of feeling alone and threatened in a dangerous world.
