From Richard Matheson, author of I Am Legend, comes a four-book bundle of his best suspense novels. Revenge, murder, and horror abound in these stories of speculative fiction as the dark side of humanity is explored.
The Shrinking Man: While on vacation, Scott Carey is exposed to a cloud of radioactive gas--and begins to shrink at a fraction of an inch per day. As he loses his stature, his relationships with his spouse, family, and friends are also threatened--as is his life. The inspiration for several movies, this novel raises interesting questions about the meaning of masculinity in 1950's American suburbia.
Camp Pleasant: As a first-time camp counselor at a boy's summer camp, Matt Harper is the witness to a murder. Told with jarring simplicity, this novel tells the story of casual brutality in an environment that should be representative of idyllic childhood innocence.
Hunger and Thirst: In renowned science fiction and horror writer Richard Matheson's first novel, the protagonist lies paralyzed in a hospital bed after catching a bullet in a robbery gone wrong. In this touching and compelling novel, he contemplates his life thus far--and his hopes for the future.
7 Steps to Midnight: At the end of an ordinary workday, mathematician Chris Barton finds his car missing from the employee parking lot and a stranger living in his house, claiming to be him. Thrust into a surreal world of violence and mystery, Chris must go on the run, stay alive, and follow a series of cryptic clues to regain his life.
