I read many of his books like I AM ALONE and stories. Many were made into TWILIGHT ZONE scripts.

RIP, but his passing really doesn’t rise to the level of ‘Breaking News’ around here.

I almost feel ill when I see the movie “Duel” is on TV. Until I see that it's the original, I can't fight the feeling that some idiots tried to remake it.

He wrote “Somewhere in Time” which was made into one of my favorite movies, with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. It feature a gorgeous score by John Barry that used Rachmaninoff themes.

One of the greats-- wrote both the novel and the film script for "The Incredible Shrinking Man," wrote 14 episodes of the original "Twilight Zone" series, wrote the scripts for all of Roger Corman's Edgar Allan Poe films, and much more. His entry in The Encyclopedia of Science fiction is
here.
His very first short story, "Born of Man and Woman," is one of the great SF stories of all time.

RIP

Wow! The news spent the last two days talking about actor James Gandolfini, but I haven’t heard a word about the passing of Matheson, arguably one of the most important writers in his genre.
