[German] - Ich bin Legende: Roman Audiobook

"Ein Roman, so unsterblich wie ein Vampir. Robert Neville ist der letzte lebende Mensch ... Alle anderen wurden durch eine Seuche zu Vampiren. Und diese Kreaturen gieren nach seinem Blut. Tagsüber ist er der Jäger, der in den verlassenen Ruinen der Zivilisation nach den schlafenden Untoten sucht und sie vernichtet. Nachts verbarrikadiert er sich in seinem Haus und betet darum, dass der neue Tag endlich anbricht. Wie lange kann ein einzelner Mann in einer Welt voller Vampire überleben? Dean Koontz: »Der intelligenteste und fesselndste Vampirroman seit Dracula.« Stephen King: »Richard Matheson ist der Autor, der mich am meisten beeinflusst hat.« Washington Post: »Man kann Richard Matheson mit Fug und Recht als den einflussreichsten amerikanischen Fantastik-Autor zwischen H. P. Lovecraft und Stephen King bezeichnen.« Der berühmte Klassiker I AM LEGEND in neuer Übersetzung. Er wurde bereits viermal verfilmt und 2012 zum »besten Vampirroman der letzten hundert Jahre« gekürt."

Dance of the Dead: Horror As Public Spectacle

"Some stories unsettle you not with monsters from space, but with familiar faces smiling in the dark. Dance Of The Dead unfolds in a near-future world where entertainment, science, and cruelty blur together, and where the line between thrill-seeking and moral collapse has all but vanished. What begins as youthful rebellion drifts toward something colder, exposing how easily a society can normalize horror when it is packaged as spectacle. Richard Matheson builds tension through atmosphere and psychological pressure rather than exposition. The story’s power lies in its intimacy, placing the listener inside the growing dread of a single character while the world around her celebrates what should never be celebrated. It is a deeply uncomfortable experience, not because it is sensational, but because it feels plausible, even inevitable. This is vintage science fiction at its most incisive—less concerned with technology than with human behavior. Dance Of The Dead asks what happens when curiosity, peer pressure, and authority combine, and whether innocence can survive once empathy is replaced by appetite. Richard Matheson was one of the most influential voices in twentieth-century speculative fiction, known for blending horror, science fiction, and psychological realism. His work often focuses on ordinary people trapped in extraordinary moral situations, and Dance Of The Dead stands as one of his most disturbing explorations of social decay and personal surrender."

[Italian] - Io sono leggenda

"Robert Neville è probabilmente l'ultimo uomo vivente sul pianeta... eppure non è solo. Un morbo incurabile ha trasformato uomini, donne e bambini in vampiri assetati di sangue. Di giorno Robert attraversa le rovine della civiltà, seguendo le tracce dei mostri come un cacciatore sulle orme della preda, li studia, sperimenta nuovi modi per sterminarli. Di notte si barrica in casa, assediato dalle creature delle tenebre, e implora che sorga presto il sole... Rovesciando la situazione di Dracula, vampiro nel mondo degli uomini, Matheson immagina un uomo solo in un mondo di creature mostruose, dando vita a uno degli scenari più fortunati della letteratura e del cinema novecentesco. Quello che - con la sua scrittura ossessivamente cristallina, asciutta, ipnotica - Matheson dipinge è un mondo apocalittico, straniato, nel quale ogni valore e ogni certezza vengono stravolti. Chi sono i buoni e chi i cattivi? Ci sono davvero dei buoni e dei cattivi? O ci sono solo eventi e creature che sfuggono alla comprensione razionale e alla catalogazione scientifica? L'orrore, suggerisce Matheson, ci abita accanto. contributori PO Giancarlo De Cataldo TR Giovanna Scocchera LE Valerio Amoruso"

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."

I Am Legend, and Other Stories

"In Matheson's vampire classic I Am Legend, a plague has decimated the world, and transformed the unfortunate survivors into bloodthirsty creatures of the night. Robert Neville is the last living man on earth. Every other man, woman, and child has become a vampire, hungry for Neville's blood. By day, he is the hunter, stalking the sleeping undead through the abandoned ruins of civilization. By night, he barricades himself in his home and prays for the dawn. How long can one man survive in a world of vampires? This recording also includes a sampling of other horror stories by Richard Matheson, some comic, all scary: "Buried Talents," "The Near Departed," "Prey," "Witch War," "Dance of the Dead," "Dress of White Silk," "Mad House," "The Funeral," "From Shadowed Places," and "Person to Person.""

Shadow on the Sun

"Southwest Arizona, a century ago. An uneasy truce exists between the remote frontier community of Picture City and the neighboring Apaches. That delicate peace is shredded when the bodies of two white men are found hideously mutilated. The angry townspeople are certain the "savages" have broken the treaty, but Billjohn Finley, the local Indian agent, fears that darker, more unholy forces may be at work. 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. But this tale of supernatural terror is sure to chill the blood of Matheson's many fans."
