Summary

"Richard Christian Matheson is the crack cocaine of horror fiction. Domestic failure, spiritual dissolution, obsessive-compulsive disorders, tints of science fiction, gothic noir, and an array of supernatural allegory...it's all here, and it's done as well and in most cases better than any writer you've ever read." --cover.
