For more than fifty years Richard Matheson has been a giant of literary intrigue. A master of fantasy - "I Am Legend," suspense - "Duel," and virtually everything else - he's written celebrated Westerns - "Journal of the Gun Years," tv scripts - "The Twilight Zone," movies - "The Incredible Shriking Man," meditations - "The Path," and so on and on. This collection gathers an astonishing group of literary talents to honor him. Heading the list of stellar writers are Stephen King and Joe Hill. F. Paul Wilson delivers a sequel to "The Distributor," while Mick Garris presents a prequel to "I Am Legend". John Shirley takes "Somewhere in Time" in a surprising new direction. Matheson's son, Richard Christian Matheson, riffs on his father's "Legion of Plotters," and Joe R. Lansdale revisits a noted Zuni fetish doll in "Quarry," his sequel to "Prey". The lineup continues with Matheson inspired tales by Thomas F. Monteleone, Gary A. Braunbeck, William F. Nolan, Ed Gorman, Barry Hoffman, Nancy A. Collins, Whitley Strieber, John Maclay, and Michael A. Arnzen. Matheson himself collaborates with Charles Beaumont for "Conjure Wife". Ramsey Campbell begins the cavalcade with an insightful introduction, "Matheson the Master". Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall. Morris, Harry O. (illustratore). Signed by Authors.…
