The critically acclaimed collection of Richard Christian Matheson’s stories of dread and the ‘irreal’. Inescapably troubling and bizarre, these sixty stories are severe and immediate. From Siamese twin country western acts to an alcoholic Santa Claus to movie theaters used as execution chambers, to death by orgasm, to modern-day savages in Hawaii, to beds that have sexual lives of their own, to pleasure by self-mutilation, these stories are a scape of ominous excess and psychological revelation. Matheson’s heralded style is, as always, both distilled and hypnotic.
