BULLETS, BROADS, BLACKMAIL & BOMBS > > Shelf-Clearing Shorts

Shelf space here at BBB&B headquarters is sparse. With this column, I get a chance to clear off a major portion of it with only three books. To say these tomes are a bit big is an understatement. Two of them are pulp collections with no crossover with the fantastic THE BLACK LIZARD BIG BOOK [...]

Zombies, and Vampires, and Heston. Oh My!

Raymond Chandler. Charles Bukowski. Walter Mosley. Meh. Los Angeles’ true literary legacy is the zombie/vampire/supervirus/apocalypse genre, which novelist and screenwriter Richard Matheson kick-started with his 1954 novel I Am Legend. Matheson’s story, set in 1970’s Los Angeles, follows the trials and tribulations of the seemingly sole survivor of a plague that transforms humans into vampires. The...

Matheson Uncollected: Volume One

As I’ve said before, Richard Matheson has probably influenced more writers than any other author alive. Three generations of men and women have borrowed both his singular storytelling skills and the peerless ways he structures his fiction, short and long alike. Barry Hoffman at Gauntlet Press has created a unique Matheson library of TV [...]

100+ writers who have never won a Hugo

I have been irritated enough by discussions as to why more people under 30 40 haven't won Hugos, that I have spent a few hours composing a list of people who you might think had won Hugos, or perhaps ought...

Matheson’s Classic Sci-Fi Novel Is Really a Story About Sexual Perversion On the surface Richard Matheson’s “The Incredible Shrinking Man” is about an average man who shrinks one inch every week – and the horrors and challenges he faces as he gets smaller.

Richard Kelly’s The Box Delayed Until September 2009

When it comes down to it, I’m not still not sure what to think of Richard Kelly as a director. I enjoyed his debut Donnie Darko quite a bit, although with repeat viewings I found that it lost some of its lustre.

Book review: The Shrinking Man

I read Richard Matheson's I Am Legend a couple of years ago and enjoyed it (and have avoided the recent film version largely 'cause I'm sure they'll have changed the brilliant ending, thus making the title meaningless.) A couple of months ago I bought some SF Masterworks in a 3-for-2 offer at Forbidden Planet, and Matheson's 1956 novel The Shrinking Man is the second (after Behold The Man ) I read....
