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?

Robert Neville may well be the last living man on Earth . . . but
he is not alone.
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.

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.

Now, IDW is proud to present comic-book tellings of both stories in Road Rage, adapted by Chris Ryall with art by Nelson Daniel and Rafa Garres.
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.

wearing the dead men's clothes. A stranger who may not be entirely
human . . . .

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 .
. . .
What if you were told that you could make a fortune just by
pushing a button on a box? But pressing this button will
simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in
the world . . . someone you don't know. Would you still push the
button? "Button, Button," Richard Matheson's chilling tale of greed and temptation, is now the basis of "The Box," the new film from the director of "Donnie Darko." In addition, this outstanding collection also contains many other unforgettable stories by Matheson, the award-winning author of "I Am Legend" and "What Dreams May Come." "The inventive plots and spare but convincing portraits of
ordinary men and women caught up in forces beyond their control
demonstrate why Stephen King has called Matheson his most
significant influence."
