The Box: Uncanny Stories

Autor Richard Matheson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 2009

What if you were told that you could make a fortune just by pushing a button on a box? But pressing this button will simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in the world . . . someone you don't know. Would you still push the button?

"Button, Button," Richard Matheson's chilling tale of greed and temptation, is now the basis of "The Box," the new film from the director of "Donnie Darko." In addition, this outstanding collection also contains many other unforgettable stories by Matheson, the award-winning author of "I Am Legend" and "What Dreams May Come."

"The inventive plots and spare but convincing portraits of ordinary men and women caught up in forces beyond their control demonstrate why Stephen King has called Matheson his most significant influence."
"--Publishers Weekly"
