“Richard Matheson is worth our
time, attention, and great affection.” – from the Appreciation by Ray Bradbury.
He was heading west, en route to
San Francisco. It was Thursday and unseasonably hot for April. He had his
suitcoat off, his tie removed and shirt collar opened, his sleeve cuffs folded
back. There was sunlight on his left arm and on part of his lap. He could feel
the heat of it through his dark trousers as he drove along the two-lane
highway. For the past twenty minutes, he had not seen another vehicle going in
either direction.
Remember that murderous semi
chasing Dennis Weaver down a lonely stretch of desert highway?
Duel, Steven Spielberg's
acclaimed first film, was adapted by Richard Matheson from his unforgettable
story of the same name.
However, "Duel" is
only one of the classic suspense tales in this outstanding collection of
stories by the Grand Master of Horror. It also contains Matheson's legendary
first story, "Born of Man and Woman," as well as several stunning
shockers that inspired memorable episodes of The Twilight Zone, including
"Little Girl Lost," "Steel," and "Third from the
Sun."
Like Matheson's previous
collection, Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, Duel is an indispensable treasure trove
of terror from the New York Times bestselling author of I Am Legend and What
Dreams May Come.
