I presented this book in 1995 to him for inscription I’ll include a letter of assurance with a photo of the inscription in it. Collected for the first time, are seventeen of the stories which have made Richard Matheson's name synonymous with originality and imagination in modern science fiction. Matheson views the world through a very strange glass. This is science fiction and fantasy at its best. Ray Bradbury had recognized publicly that Richard Matheson was “one of the most important writers of the 20th century," and Stephen King cited him as "the author who most influenced me as a writer."
