Reviews
“Perhaps no author living is as responsible for chilling a generation with tantalizing nightmare visions . . . .” —The New York Times
“Crime fiction at its toughest:
booze, guns, knives, chases, aberrant psychology, blackmail, icepick murders, femmes fatales, sinister psychos, brutish thugs, drunks, nymphos, homicide dicks, and a generous helping of sweat.” —Matthew R. Bradley from the Introduction to Noir
“The author who influenced me the most as a writer was Richard Matheson.” —Stephen King
“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
“His stories not only entertain, but touch the mind and heart.” —Dean Koontz
