The success of the mass market reissue of Richard Matheson's I Am Legend has prompted Tor to reissue other Matheson books. Here is the kicker- the books are only $4.99!" I checked said web site (http://us.macmillan.com/QuickSearchResults.aspx?search=matheson) and saw they indeed have paperbacks of Earthbound, The Incredible Shrinking Man, A Stir of Echoes, What Dreams May Come, and the Beardless Warriors for $4.99 each (as well as other titles for higher prices).

It has not only the title novel, but nine short stories: "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet," "The Test," "The Holiday Man," "Mantage," "The Distributor," "By Appointment Only," "Button, Button," "Duel," and "Shoofly." Not bad for $4.99. Ron

It's a harrowing read, but not at all in the way of his better-known genre works such as I Am Legend or The Shrinking Man. The Beardless Warriors has never been given the respect or praise it deserves--I'm delighted to see that it's in this new $4.99 collection. I hope the price encourages some folks to try it.
