Richard Matheson

Road Rage unites Richard Matheson's classic Duel and the contemporary work it inspired--two power-packed short stories by three of the genre's most acclaimed authors. Duel, an unforgettable tale about a driver menaced by a semi truck, was the source for Stephen Spielberg's acclaimed first film of the same name. Throttle, by Stephen King and Joe Hill, is a duel of a different kind, pitting a faceless trucker against a tribe of motorcycle outlaws, in the simmering Nevada desert. Their battle is fought out on twenty miles of the most lonely road in the country, a place where the only thing worse than not knowing what you're up against, is slowing down . . .

RICHARD MATHESON (1926-2013) skrev en mængde romaner og noveller, og stod dertil bag manuskriptet til blandt andet det afsnit af Twilight Zone, hvor William Shatner opdager en gremlin på flyvingen – og Steven Spielbergs første film, Duellen. Nu genudgiver SerieKlubben to af hans bedste bøger på dansk."Han lagde bogen fra sig og stirrede ned i gulvet. Højttaleren brølede “Verklärte Nacht” ud. Han kunne selvfølgelig stoppe vat i ørerne; det lukkede deres lyde ude, men så kunne han heller ikke høre musikken, og han kunne ikke lide tanken om, at de havde tvunget ham ind i et sneglehus ..."Richard Mathesons første og mest kendte roman foreliggerendelig på dansk igen.Bogen er filmatiseret flere gange, senest med Will Smith.Efterskrift af NICOLAS BARBANO.

Den postapokalyptiska vampyrklassikern i ny utgåva»En av 1900-talets viktigaste författare.« Ray Bradbury »Den författare som inspirerat mig allra mest.« Stephen KingRobert Neville är den sista levande människan på jorden. Om nätterna barrikaderar han sig i ett hus i centrala Los Angeles medan han väntar på att de nattliga attackerna ska upphöra. När solen går upp beger han sig åter ut i stadens ruiner - i jakt på vampyrerna som jagar honom, och sökande en väg ut ur den omänskliga tillvaro han fastnat i. Legend är en berättelse om ensamhet och förtvivlan, såväl som en kritik av religiös fanatism och vetenskaplig arrogans. Romanen har filmatiserats tre gånger - senast 2007 med Will Smith i huvudrollen - och har haft ett oöverskådligt inflytande på skildringen av zombier och vampyrer i populärkulturen.I översättning av Lisa J. Isaksson.RICHARD MATHESON [1926-2013] var en amerikansk författare. Han skrev en rad romaner och noveller inom skräck, fantasy och science fiction, och även manus för tv och film, bland annat det ikoniska avsnittet »Nightmare at 20.000 Feet« för tv-serien The Twilight Zone. Allra mest känd är Matheson för den postapokalyptiska skräckromanen Legend [I Am Legend, 1954].»Den smartaste & mest uppslukande vampyrromanen sedan Dracula.« Dean Koontz »Legend är skrämmande, nervkittlande, tragisk, smart och - i slutänden - upplyftande.« James Lovegrove

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.
