Dance of the Dead

"Dance of the Dead by Richard Matheson Richard Matheson was an influential American author known for his contributions to science fiction, horror, and fantasy literature. His unique storytelling style and exploration of existential themes have left an indelible mark on the literary world. Matheson's literary career began in the 1950s when he started writing short stories for magazines like The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction and Galaxy Science Fiction. His early works often featured themes of isolation, fear, and the human condition. One of Matheson's notable attributes was his versatility as a writer. He effortlessly transitioned between genres, exploring science fiction, horror, fantasy, and even westerns. This diversity allowed him to reach a wide audience and gain recognition across various literary circles. Matheson's impact on popular culture cannot be overstated. His works have inspired countless writers, filmmakers, and artists across generations. His ability to tap into universal fears and emotions resonates with audiences to this day. Perhaps Matheson's most famous work, I Am Legend, published in 1954, is a seminal piece of vampire fiction. The novel, set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by vampires, explores themes of loneliness, survival, and the human psyche. Another significant work by Matheson, The Shrinking Man (1956), tells the story of a man who begins to shrink after being exposed to a radioactive cloud. The novel delves into themes of identity, mortality, and the insignificance of humanity in the face of the unknown. Hell House (1971) is a chilling tale of a haunted house and the team of investigators tasked with uncovering its secrets. Matheson masterfully blends elements of horror and psychological suspense, creating a gripping narrative that keeps readers on the edge of their seats."

The Best of Richard Matheson

"The first career retrospective of terrifying stories by “one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century” (Ray Bradbury), as selected by award-winning author Victor LaValle Among the greats of twentieth-century horror and fantasy, few names stand above Richard Matheson. Though known by many for novels like I Am Legend and his sixteen 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. Matheson revolutionized horror by taking it out of Gothic castles and strange cosmos and into the darkened streets and suburbs we recognize as our own. He infused tales of the fantastic and supernormal with dark explorations of human nature, delving deep into the universal dread of feeling alone and threatened in a dangerous world. The Best of Richard Matheson brings together his greatest hits as chosen by Victor LaValle, an expert on horror fiction and one of its brightest talents, marking the first major overview of Matheson’s legendary career."

That delicate peace is shredded when the bodies of two white men are found hideously mutilated.

There's a tall, dark stranger in town, who rode in wearing the dead men's clothes. A stranger who may not be entirely human. Originally published as a mass-market Western in 1994, Shadow on the Sun has been largely overlooked by horror fans and general readers.
