Review title: I wish I'd known
Product review: ... how lousy this book was. I wish I'd thought to log in to Amazon and read the other reviews before being sucked in by the Matheson name in an airport bookstore. I wanted to throw the book down the air-flusher.It was like a bad dream I couldn't wake from. I kept waiting for the REAL Richard Matheson to appear -- the one from I, Legend, Hell House, Stir of Echoes. But know, some James Dickey wannabe has obviously taken over his mind. I found the plot to be tired, and the sex/violent scenes to be gratutious. Now, mind you, I'm not one to shrink from erotic horror and I've even published vampire stories, (including a short-short I dedicated to Mr. Matheson), but this was simply hack work.Next time, I'll buy a classic from the airport bookstore, and wait to log on and read the reviews at Amazon.
