Review

"Be warned: you are in the hands of a writer who asks no quarter and gives none. He will wring you dry . . . and when you close this volume he will leave you with greatest gift a writer can give: he will leave you wanting more." --Stephen King, from his Introduction "Perhaps no author living is as responsible for chilling a generation with tantalizing nightmare visions . . . ." --The New York Times "One of those who have moved imaginative fiction from the sidelines into the literary mainstream. May he be writing far into the twenty-first century." --Ray Bradbury "Matheson is the master of paranoia-pitting a single man against unknown horrors and examining his every slow twist in the wind." --San Jose Mercury News
