About this book

Duel, Stephen Spielberg's terrifying first film, was adapted by Richard Matheson from his nail-biting short story of the same name. But "Duel" is only one of the many classic tales in this outstanding collection of stories by the award-winning author of I Am Legend, Somewhere in Time, What Dreams May Come, and The Incredible Shrinking Man. Remember that murderous semi chasing a driver down a lonely stretch of desert highway? Here are over a dozen unforgettable tales of horror and suspense, including several stunning shockers that inspired timeless episodes of The Twilight Zone.
