Again, it is an expanded tradepaperback version of the 1989 Dream/Press hardcover limited edition. We are publishing it in 3 volumes (click here to view RICHARD MATHESON: COLLECTED STORIES, VOLUME ONE). <P>This three volume edition of RICHARD MATHESON: COLLECTED STORIES is the gathering together of 86 Richard Matheson short stories, beginning with Born of Man and Woman from 1950 and ending with Duel from 1971. The stories were arranged by Matheson himself roughly in chronological order of original publication. There are also several tributes to Richard Matheson throughout the volumes from admirers such as Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, Robert Bloch, William F. Nolan, and others. Finally, Matheson wrote a deeply revealing Introduction for the collection. As Matheson himself states in this Introduction, "A twenty-year period of creativity reduced to the psychological background of my output of fantasy and science-fiction stories. If this were a thesis, that would be my premise". <P>As with Volume One, for Volume Two editor Stanley Wiater has included a "bibliophile" at the end of each story containing Matheson's very own commentary on the behind-the-scenes details of each story. Each story is also listed with it's original publication date and place of publication. 33605 28 2 2005 Richard Matheson: Collected Stories Vol 2 total:34|5:11|4:16|3:6|2:1|1:0| 34 139 61 3 4 0 true false Fri Mar 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 10:35:10 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 14:38:34 -0700 2009 1
It is really hard to star rate a book of short stories. Richard Matheson is one of my favorite authors, however his collection only gets four stars because I didn't adore every single story.
I think any writer of horror or science fiction needs to read Matheson. Es...more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Dec 30 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Jul 16 07:03:10 -0700 2008 Wed Dec 31 01:09:46 -0800 2008 Trespass ***oo
