Resumen del Editor
Soon to be a major motion picture starring Hugh Jackman, here is a new short story collection by the New York Times best-selling author of I Am Legend.
Imagine a future in which human boxing has been replaced by heavyweight bouts between massive robots. Richard Matheson’s classic short story, “Steel", is the inspiration for Real Steel, a new movie starring Hugh Jackman.
“Steel” is just one of over a dozen unforgettable tales in this outstanding collection, including a satirical fantasy, “The Splendid Source", and two new stories never before collected in any previous Matheson collection.

The profoundly original and wildly entertaining short stories of a legendary Twilight Zone writer. It is only natural that Charles Beaumont would make a name for himself crafting scripts for The Twilight Zone - for his was an imagination so limitless it must have emerged from some other dimension. Perchance to Dream contains a selection of Beaumont's finest stories, including five that he later adapted for Twilight Zone episodes.

Historia
Born into a family of modest means and respectability, Danny Fisher was gradually driven downward into the world of crime, racketeering and poverty. His bitterness, his homesickness over the loss of the house in Brooklyn that was given to him for his eighth birthday, and his feud with his harsh father, pulled him one way; his natural decency and his love for a sweet Italian girl, Nellie Petito, pulled him another.

In the cold confines of Death Row, Frank Beachum is also out of time. Ready to say good-bye to the wife and child he loves and hello to the God he still believes in, Beachum knows he did not kill a convenience store clerk six years ago.

Historia
Paul Madvig was a cheerfully corrupt ward-heeler who aspired to something better: the daughter of Senator Ralph Bancroft Henry, the heiress to a dynasty of political purebreds. Did he want her badly enough to commit murder? And if Madvig was innocent, which of his dozens of enemies was doing an awfully good job of framing him? Dashiell Hammett’s tour de force of detective fiction combines an airtight plot, authentically venal characters, and writing of telegraphic crispness. A one-time detective and a master of deft understatement, Hammett invented the noir crime novel.

If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

Aida Palmer performs a spirit medium show onstage at Chinatown's illustrious Gris-Gris speakeasy. However, her ability to summon (and expel) the dead is more than just an act. Winter Magnusson is a notorious bootlegger who's more comfortable with guns than ghosts. Unfortunately for him, he's the recent target of a malevolent hex that renders him a magnet for hauntings. After Aida's supernatural assistance is enlisted to banish the ghosts, her spirit-chilled aura heats up as the charming bootlegger casts a different sort of spell on her.

Among the greats of 20th-century horror and fantasy, few names stand above Richard Matheson. Though known by many for novels like I Am Legend and his 16 Twilight Zone episodes, Matheson truly shines in his chilling, masterful short stories. Since his first story appeared in 1950, virtually every major writer of science fiction and fantasy has fallen under his influence, including Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Peter Straub, and Joe Hill, as well as filmmakers like Stephen Spielberg and J. J. Abrams.

Historia
Among the greats of 20th-century horror and fantasy, few names stand above Richard Matheson. Though known by many for novels like I Am Legend and his 16 Twilight Zone episodes, Matheson truly shines in his chilling, masterful short stories. Since his first story appeared in 1950, virtually every major writer of science fiction and fantasy has fallen under his influence, including Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Peter Straub, and Joe Hill, as well as filmmakers like Stephen Spielberg and J. J. Abrams.

Historia
Much of Richard Matheson's work has found its way into pop culture: The title story became a memorable episode of television's The Twilight Zone, and more recently, Will Smith starred in the blockbuster movie I Am Legend. Stephen King has declared Matheson to be one of his favorite writers. Find out why as you listen to the classic horror story of a man who peers out of his airplane window to see a gremlin destroying the wing.

Not my cup of tea, but brilliantly read.
While Matheson's work, specifically his shorter works, are not my personal favorite, they are stunningly written and very moving tales, and Scott Brick's reading is, as ever, flawless. I know this will be a must for Matheson devotees.

WAS SHAKESPEARE, QUEEN ELIZABETH?
NO BEAUTY PARLORS
The title story STEEL, was a Twilight Zone episode. This is longer. The abridged version was better. I did not get to see the movie with Will Smith. Of the 15 stories only one was bad. The problem with this collection, is that most of the stories are just so-so. Not bad, but not great. The collection is also listed as a horror, when it is more a collection of Science Fiction. There are robots, time travel, a western, nuclear bombs, a doll that talks and grows older and much more.
Brick is to narration as William Shatner is to Star Trek
If you love Matheson, you will want the collection, if you are new to Matheson, get I AM LEGEND or one of the many Twilight Zone episodes he wrote.

Wonderful
These stories are great and yet written so long ago. Unnerving, delightful, and well read all the way through.

Matheson always hits it out of the park
What made the experience of listening to Steel and Other Stories the most enjoyable?
I've always loved Richard Matheson, ever since I first picked up Hell House more than 15 years ago. Ever since then, I've read everything of his I can find, even rare and out of print titles. Matheson is a better writer than 99.9999% of all the authors writing in the horror/thriller genre today. As far as creating believable characters you can come to care about, adding details that truly make the story come alive, and having a keen sense of human nature, the only author who I feel comes close today is Stephen King, though their writing styles are widely different.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Steel, the former prizefighter in the first short story. He's a dreamer who still believes that if they win the next fight, book the next match, try the next town, he'll make it big. He believes in the run down fighter he's managing to such an extent that he refuses to see reason. When his fighter ends up unable to compete right before the match that will provide money they're absolutely relying on, he decides to take his fighter's place, despite having not fought in years and knowing there is no way he'll ever win the match and may not even survive against his opponent.
Which scene was your favorite?
The scene in which Steel, facing the fact that his fighter is too run-down to compete, decides to step into the ring himself. He shows a great nobility there, knowing his partner is depending on the money from the fight. It's an amazing scene, handled with an expert observer's razor-sharp sense of human nature, emotional without being soppy. It's at this moment where I found myself caring about Steel the most.
If you could rename Steel and Other Stories, what would you call it?
I'd leave it as it is.

Twilight Zone in Book Form
Yes, Richard Matheson is the author of the novella that eventually became I am legend. Yes, he is the man who wrote several Twilight Zone episodes. To many, he stands out as one of the greats. I likef his stories very much, but I did not love than. To his stories I want to say, "It's not you; it's me." I love twisty. I absolutely adore Twilight Zone. Truthfully, I have seen so many of those episodes and read his short stories, that they did not feel fresh. I wanted to be thrilled and shocked and surprised, but we have been together too long. I'm sorry, baby, but the mystery and magic is gone. I would never be the sort of cad that would put you down. If you haven't been here, you may find out wonderful. If you read a lot of this sort of stuff, you will not likely be fooled by the twisty ending to these stories.
I didn't like Scott Brick do much. His reading in many places felt over acted. There is something about his manner of acting out the emotions of "pleading" that I found annoying. His "anger" is very much the aging Shakespeare actor preening and proud. I think a light touch to this material would have improved the irony.
