In Richard Matheson's BID TIME RETURN (and its film SOMEWHERE IN TIME, adapted by Matheson and quite different from the book), Elise McKenna says "Is it you?" when she first sees Richard Collier, the man she falls in love with, in 1896. Now why does this WORK? Why doesn't this line come across as cheesy? Well, perhaps because genre's liberties allow us to suspend our disbelief to some extent. And Matheson was nimble enough to connect this advantage to common romantic longings and fatalism. I think that what separates good writers (and Matheson was indeed a good one) working in genre from hacks is the degree to which fantastical imagination is tied to the human heart. And this is probably why the "Anything Goes" school of unfettered magical realism irritates the hell out of me. Every move you make must be rooted in something tangible.

Hoy he terminado de leer Tokio Blues de Haruki y me ha parecido una obra exquisita. Como me ha pillado en el Metro he decidido comenzar con La casa infernal de Richard Matheson. En su día vi la película titulada La leyenda de la casa del infierno y me resultó bastante acojonante. El libro seguro que estará a la altura con creces. ¿Los habéis leído?

March 5: Someone named Scott for

Despite its sensationalist pulpy title and premise, Jack Arnold's adaptation of the novel is an existentialist treatise.

The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957) plays with the understanding of what it means to be acknowledged as a human, and one's place in the world. The story is told through the eyes of the titular Shrinking Man – Scott Carey – who after being exposed to strange fog, finds himself increasingly lost in this world.

It's phenomenal and I can only recommend it.

"Prey" (1969)
by Richard Matheson

Amelia finds the perfect gift for Arthur - a fetish doll, purported to contain a warrior spirit. When the chain binding the spirit falls off, she fights for her life against a miniature, but mighty, hunter.

Matheson avoids silliness with the "killer doll"; by keeping it off-screen for much of the story, he instead evokes fear and tension through Amelia's senses and thoughts.

The Legend of Hell House is a 1973 British horror flick written by Richard Matheson, based on his fine novel Hell House.

The film concerns a scientific investigation of a haunting.

One of the very best haunted house movies ever made. A superb example of subtle intelligent horror.

Having lost a bunch of older website content and with new articles on hiatus for a few months now (new content coming soon), being new to the Mastodon Community, I figured it was worth posting links to some remaining older articles, as an intro to our dubious wares, starting with:

It's a bit late to be posting this, but on the off chance you're still in a mood or you just like stories, here's a short story written by (and read by me) called "No Such Thing as a Vampire." One of my favorite stories of this genre.
