Rest in peace Richard Matheson
Sci-fi author and legend Dick Matheson died yesterday at age 87.
Dont remember him? He basically invented zombies with his 1954 work, I Am Legend.
Lending a feel of reality to his work was the fact that he was also a grunt– having served in the US Army as an infantryman in the ETO during WWII.
He also wrote Stir of Echoes, The Shrinking Man, What Dreams May Come, and dozens of other works.
*He*, was a legend….
Ave Atque Vale, Mr. Matheson.
