Between light and shadow, science and superstition, fear and
knowledge is a dimension of imagination. An area we call the
Twilight Zone. Adapted by Anne Washburn (Mr Burns) and directed by
Olivier Award-winner Richard Jones, this world premiere production
of the acclaimed CBS Television Series The Twilight Zone lands on
stage for the first time in its history. Or its present. Or its
future. Stage magic and fantasy unite as the ordinary becomes
extraordinary.

inspired the blockbuster vampire movie starring Will Smith Readers
can't put down I Am Legend: 'A classic of several genres, sci-fi,
horror, vampires, and post-apocalypse. I love the scientific
rationalization of the classic vampire lore' Goodreads reviewer, 'I
certainly understand why Richard Matheson is regarded as a master
of the horror genre and why even THE Stephen King looked up to him
as an inspiration . . . If you like horror, suspense and the
macabre, then my dear reader please give this book a try' Goodreads
reviewer, 'Less about vampires. More about mental breakdown. An
excellent horror story' Goodreads reviewer, 'Neville is a very
interesting protagonist. You really want to root for him that he
will survive. I don't want to spoil you, but the ending will
definitely hit you like a one-two punch' Goodreads reviewer, 'It's
about a man dealing with stress, nightmarish circumstances and his
will to not just live, but to survive. Matheson tells a tale of
isolation, desperation, perseverance and ultimately, absolution'
Goodreads reviewer,
Among the greats of twentieth century horror and fantasy, few names
stand above Richard Matheson. Though known by many for novels like
I Am Legend and his sixteen Twilight Zone episodes, Matheson truly
shines in his chilling, masterful short stories. Matheson
revolutionized horror by taking it out of Gothic castles and
strange cosmos and into the darkened streets and suburbs we
recognize as our own. He infuses tales of the fantastic and
supernatural with dark explorations of human nature, delving deep
into the universal dread of feeling alone and threatened in a
dangerous world.

How long can one man survive like this? Winner of the Bram Stoker
Prize for Vampire Novel of the Century, I Am Legend is a stunning

vampire novel since Dracula' - Dean Koontz 'Books like I Am Legend
were an inspiration to me' - Stephen King 'It is, by turns, scary,
thrilling, tragic, witty and - ultimately - uplifting' - James
Lovegrove Welcome to The Best Of The Masterworks: a selection of
the finest in science fiction

For over twenty years, Belasco House has stood empty. Its shadowed
walls have witnessed scenes of almost unimaginable horror and
depravity. Two previous expeditions to investigate its secrets met
with disaster, the participants destroyed by murder, suicide or
insanity. Now a new investigation brings four strangers to the
forbidding mansion who are determined to probe Belasco House for
the ultimate secrets of life and death. Each has his or her own
reason for daring the unknown torments and temptations of the
mansion, but can any soul survive what lurks within the most
haunted house on Earth? "Hell House is the scariest haunted house
novel ever written. It looms over the rest the way the mountains
loom over the foothills." -- Stephen King
Like What Dreams May Come, which inspired the upcoming movie starring Robin Williams, Somewhere in Time is the powerful story of a love that transcends time and space, written by one of the Grand Masters of modern fantasy.
Matheson's classic novel tells the moving, romantic story of a modern man whose love for a woman he has never met draws him back in time to a luxury hotel in San Diego in 1896, where he finds his soul mate in the form of a celebrated actress of the previous century. Somewhere in Time won the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, and the 1979 movie version, starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, remains a cult classic whose fans continue to hold yearly conventions to this day.

How long can one man survive in a world of vampires?
For over half a century, Richard Matheson has enthralled and
terrified readers with such timeless classics as "I Am Legend,"
"The Incredible Shrinking Man," "Duel," "Somewhere in Time," and
"What Dreams May Come." Now the Grand Master returns with a
bewitching tale of erotic suspense and enchantment.... 1918. A
young American soldier recently wounded in the Great War, Alex
White comes to Gatford to escape his troubled past. The pastoral
English village seems the perfect spot to heal his wounded body and
soul. True, the neighboring woods are said to be haunted by
capricious, even malevolent, spirits, but surely those are just old
wives' tales. Aren't they? A frightening encounter in the forest
leads him into the arms of Magda Variel, an alluring red-haired
widow rumored to be a witch. She warns him to steer clear of the
wood and the perilous faerie kingdom it borders, but Alex cannot
help himself. Drawn to its verdant mysteries, he finds love,
danger...and wonders that will forever change his view of the
world.
While on a boating holiday, Scott Carey is exposed to a cloud of
radioactive spray. A few weeks later, following a series of medical
examinations, he can no longer deny the extraordinary truth. Not
only is he losing weight, he is also shorter than he was. Scott
Carey has begun to shrink. Richard Matheson's novel follows through
its premise with remorseless logic, with Carey first attempting to
continue some kind of normal life and later having left human
contact behind, having to survive in a world where insects and
spiders are giant adversaries. And even that is only a stage on his
journey into the unknown.
Southwest Arizona, a century ago. An uneasy true exists between
the remote frontier community of Picture City and the neighboring
Apaches. That delicate peace is shredded when the bodies of two
white men are found hideously mutilated. The angry townspeople are
certain the "savages" have broken the treaty, but Billjohn Finley,
the local Indian agent, fears that darker, more unholy forces may
be at work. There's a tall, dark stranger in town, who rode in
wearing the dead men's clothes. A stranger who may not be entirely
human . . . .
Originally published as a mass-market Western in 1994, "Shadow on
the Sun" has been out of print for years and was largely overlooked
by horror fans and general readers. Now at last this forgotten tale
of supernatural terror returns to chill the blood of Matheson's
many fans.
Inch by inch, day by day, Scott Carey is getting smaller. Once an unremarkable husband and father, Scott finds himself shrinking with no end in sight. His wife and family turn into unreachable giants, the family cat becomes a predatory menace, and Scott must struggle to survive in a world that seems to be growing ever larger and more perilous--until he faces the ultimate limits of fear and existence.

by Stephen King and Bev Vincent. This exciting new collection,
perfect for airport or aeroplane reading, includes an original
introduction and story notes for each story by Stephen King, and
brand new stories from Stephen King and Joe Hill. Stephen King
hates to fly. Now he and co-editor Bev Vincent would like to share
this fear of flying with you. Welcome to Flight or Fright, an
anthology about all the things that can go horribly wrong when
you're suspended six miles in the air, hurtling through space at
more than 500 mph and sealed up in a metal tube (like - gulp! - a
coffin) with hundreds of strangers. All the ways your trip into the
friendly skies can turn into a nightmare, including some we'll bet
you've never thought of before... but now you will the next time
you walk down the jetway and place your fate in the hands of a
total stranger. Featuring brand new stories by Joe Hill and Stephen
King, as well as fourteen classic tales and one poem from the likes
of Richard Matheson, Ray Bradbury, Roald Dahl, Dan Simmons, and
many others, Flight or Fright is, as King says, "ideal airplane
reading, especially on stormy descents... Even if you are safe on
the ground, you might want to buckle up nice and tight." Book a
flight for this terrifying new anthology that will have you
thinking twice about how you want to reach your final destination.

Imagine a future in which the sport of boxing has gone
high-tech. Human boxers have been replaced by massive humanoid
robots. And former champions of flesh-and-blood are obsolete . . .
.
Richard Matheson's classic short story is now the basis for" Real
Steel," a gritty, white-knuckle film starring Hugh Jackman. But
"Steel," which was previously filmed as a powerful episode of the
original "Twilight Zone" television series, is just one of over a
dozen unforgettable tales in this outstanding collection, which
includes two new stories that have never appeared in any previous
Matheson collection. Also featured is a bizarre satirical fantasy,
"The Splendid Source," that was turned into an episode of "The
Family Guy.
"Richard Matheson was recently inducted into the Science Fiction
Hall of Fame. "Steel" demonstrates once again the full range of his
legendary imagination.
It was supposed to be just an ordinary camping trip, two old
friends hiking through the woods of northern California. But this
self-enforced isolation exposes long-hidden rivalries and
resentments between the men. The deeper they get into the
wilderness, far from civilization, the greater the tension
becomes-until it erupts into a terrifying life-or-death battle for
survival. Two men enter the woods, but only one will emerge alive .
