Any Richard Matheson fans out there? I have been reading his stuff for the past couple of years. My favorites are I am legend, what dreams may come and Hell house, but i have read most of them at this point in time.

Sadly I only discovered his writing after I am Legend came out with Will Smith. Since then I have read several of his works. Hunted Past Reason had me very anxious and reading through the night.

Wow i thought i read them all but i haven't read that one yet is it a short story or a good length?

Richard Matheson books I have read:

Stir of Echoes 4/5 *s
What dreams may come 4/5 *s
I am legend 4/5 *s
Now you see it 2.5/5 *s
Journal of the gun years 3/5 *s
Earthbound 2.5/5 *s
Hellhouse 4/5 *s

I put ratings beside them for how much I enjoyed them

Own but haven't read:

The memoirs of wild bill hickok
Somewhere In Time
beardless warriors
7 steps to midnight.
The incredible shrinking man.

Any true horror fan should read Richard Matheson. He helped to create alot of horror writers. I know both Dean Koontz and Stephen King have both given him credit for molding them into writers.

Hunted Past Reason is a full length novel. It is not a supernatural type horror story, more of a psychological thriller.

"Now You See It.." is another strange one by him. Again more of a psychological thriller.

I would recommend both these novels if you are a fan of his.

I did read that one and I enjoyed it, but it wasn't as good as some of his earlier works. There were so many twists it was crazy. Cool concept though. It would work great as a play.

I haven't read any of his novels.

I've seen the film adaptations and read the graphic novel adaptation of I Am Legend. The original novel is the next book on my to read list.

I've only read I Am Legend, but that is superb

Check out Hellhouse and Stir of Echoes you'll enjoy those as well. They would be his most mainstream horror type books next to I Am Legend.
