Reviews
Praise for Richard Matheson: "Perhaps no other author living is as responsible for chilling a generation with tantlizing nightmare visions." -- The New York Times "Inventive plots and spare but convincing portraits of ordinary men and woman caught up in forces beyond their control demonstrate why Stephen King has called Matheson his most significant influence." --Publishers Weekly, Praise for Richard Matheson: "The author who influenced me the most as a writer was Richard Matheson." --Stephen King "His stories not only entertain but touch the mind and heart." --Dean Koontz

Synopsis
Richard Matheson's classic short story is now the basis for Real Steel , a gritty, white-knuckle film starring Hugh Jackman. But "Steel," which was previously filmed as a powerful episode of the original Twilight Zone television series, is just one of over a dozen unforgettable tales in this outstanding collection, which includes two new stories that have never appeared in any previous Matheson collection. Also featured is a bizarre satirical fantasy, "The Splendid Source," that was turned into an episode of The Family Guy. Imagine a future in which the sport of boxing has gone high-tech. Human boxers have been replaced by massive humanoid robots. And former champions of flesh-and-blood are obsolete . . . . Richard Matheson was recently inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame. Steel : And Other Stories demonstrates once again the full range of his legendary imagination., A new collection featuring the story that inspired Real Steel , a major motion picture starring Hugh Jackman., Imagine a future in which the sport of boxing has gone high-tech.

- v***v (2063)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
