Shock 3

The author, Richard Matheson (1926) recently died in June, 2013. An American author and screenwriter, primarily in the fantasy, horror, and science fiction genres, He will probably be remembered more --- even though he had a huge output of writings -- for I Am Legend, a 1954 horror story which has been made into film for the large screen. Other films made from his books or stories are The Shrinking Man, Hell House, What Dreams May Come, Bid Time Return (filmed as Somewhere in Time), and A Stir of Echoes. Matheson also wrote numerous television episodes for Twilight Zone and Steven Spielberg directed his "Duel". Sad day in June 2013 to lose such a 'fantasy-istic' American writer. Shock 3 is a collection of his shortstories (1966).
