Description:
“Richard Matheson is
worth our time, attention, and great affection.” – from the Appreciation by Ray
Bradbury.
The late Richard
Matheson's classic tale of highway terror.
He was heading west, en
route to San Francisco. It was Thursday and unseasonably hot for April. He had
his suitcoat off, his tie removed and shirt collar opened, his sleeve cuffs
folded back. There was sunlight on his left arm and on part of his lap. He could
feel the heat of it through his dark trousers as he drove along the two-lane
highway. For the past twenty minutes, he had not seen another vehicle going in
either direction.
Then he saw the truck ...
Remember that murderous
semi chasing Dennis Weaver down a lonely stretch of desert highway?
Duel, Steven Spielberg's acclaimed first film, was adapted by
Richard Matheson from his unforgettable story of the same name.
However,
"Duel" is only one of the classic suspense tales in this outstanding
collection of stories by the Grand Master of Horror. It also contains
Matheson's legendary first story, "Born of Man and Woman," as well as
several stunning shockers that inspired memorable episodes of The Twilight
Zone, including "Little Girl Lost," "Steel," and
"Third from the Sun."
Like
Matheson's previous collection, Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, Duel is
an indispensable treasure trove of terror from the New York Times
bestselling author of I Am Legend and What Dreams May Come.
