Terror stories Remember that murderous semi chasing a driver down a lonely stretch of desert highway? 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 . Here are over a dozen unforgettable tales of horror and suspense, including several stunning shockers that inspired timeless episodes of The Twilight Zone .

Modern science fiction emerged in the 1950s, particularly in America, where it broke free from traditional conventions. Writers began to explore their imaginations in novel-length works, marking an era of stylistic experimentation and speculative storytelling that addressed the uncertainties of a rapidly changing world. Often overlooked by the literary elite, these “outsider” novels are now celebrated as American classics. This volume presents four distinct visions of uncertain futures and evolving identities. Frederik Pohl and C. M. Kornbluth’s The Space Merchants (1953) offers a satirical take on a future dominated by multinational advertising. Theodore Sturgeon’s More Than Human (1953) explores the journey of damaged individuals toward a potential new stage of evolution. Leigh Brackett, one of the first prominent female science fiction writers, presents a post-nuclear world in The Long Tomorrow (1955), where anti-urban technophobes clash with the remnants of a destroyed civilization. Richard Matheson’s The Shrinking Man (1956) tells the tale of a man shrinking due to a mysterious cloud, facing humiliations and dangers that lead him to a surprising and transformative realization. Each novel opens new territory, reflecting the dynamic energies of an age grappling with the unknown.

Richard Matheson ist einer der größten "Entdecker" der Science-Fiction, der alle möglichen Bereiche ohne Wiederholungen erkundet hat. Seine unvergesslichen Geschichten behandeln stets ein anderes Thema: vom falschen Roboter in "Stahl" über das arme Monster in "Geboren von Mensch und Frau" bis hin zu den schrecklichen Infraterrestrischen in "Von den Kanälen": von der vierten Dimension in "Verlorenes Kind" und der sexuellen Satire in "Kulturelles Phänomen" bis zur atomaren Tragödie in "Regel zum Überleben" und der gnadenlosen, erschreckenden Soziologie in "Die Prüfung"; von den Hellseher-Phänomenen in "Der Sonntagsmann" bis zum Duell zwischen Auto und Lastwagen im gleichnamigen Meisterwerk des Regisseurs Spielberg. In diesem, einem seiner seltenen "langen" Romane, gibt er einen weiteren Beweis seines Genies für die unheimlichen, angstvollen und dennoch immer in der Realität unserer Zeit verwurzelten Evokationen.

But even Heaven is not complete without Annie, and when tragedy threatens to divide them forever, Chris risks his very soul to save Annie from an eternity of despair.

While on holiday, Scott Carey is exposed to a cloud of radioactive spray shortly after he accidentally ingests insecticide. The radioactivity acts as a catalyst for the bug spray, causing his body to shrink at a rate of approximately 1/7 of an inch per day. A few weeks later, Carey can no longer deny the truth: not only is he losing weight, he is also shorter than he was and deduces, to his dismay, that his body will continue to shrink.

Très peu facile à catégoriser, cet écrivain américain s'est servi de la fiction plus que de la science pour élaborer surtout des nouvelles angoissantes et macabres dont on trouve 18 échantillons (1950-1977) dans ce recueil pourvu d'une substantielle introduction. Bibliographie détaillée

Alle Versuche, die Geheimnisse des Belasco-Hauses zu ergründen, endeten in Mord, Selbstmord oder Wahnsinn – doch nun wurde eine neue Untersuchung eingeleitet, die vier Fremde auf der Suche nach den ultimativen Geheimnissen von Leben und Tod zusammenbringt.

For over twenty years, Belasco House has stood empty. Its shadowed walls have witnessed scenes of almost unimaginable horror and depravity. Two previous expeditions to investigate its secrets met with disaster, the participants destroyed by murder, suicide or insanity. Now a new investigation brings four strangers to the forbidding mansion who are determined to probe Belasco House for the ultimate secrets of life and death. Each has his or her own reason for daring the unknown torments and temptations of the mansion, but can any soul survive what lurks within the most haunted house on Earth? "Hell House is the scariest haunted house novel ever written. It looms over the rest the way the mountains loom over the foothills." -- Stephen King
