Synopsis This collection of stories--most of which were originally published in the 1950s and '60s--makes a exciting introduction into the work of the writer that Stephen King has claimed as a major influence. Richard Matheson (perhaps best known for his book I AM LEGEND, which has been adapted several times for the big screen) gives readers stories of greed, temptation, and insidious evil. Of note is the story "Box Box," which inspired the 2009 film THE BOX directed by Richard Kelly.
