Book Review: Vintage Matheson
Summary: 4 Stars
Gauntlet continues its tradition of reissuing the works of modern horror masters with Bloodlines, an oversized tome featuring all of Richard Matheson's work regarding vampires and vampirism. Thus, besides presenting his classic (and oh so influential) novel I Am Legend, it also features his script for the memorable 1974 television movie Bram Stoker's Dracula (featuring Jack Palance in the title role), and three short stories from the nineteen fifties, "Blood Son", The Funeral", and "No Such Thing as a Vampire". All are well worth your time--folks who are experiencing these works for the first time are in for a treat, those who are revisiting them can rest assured that they still hold up (and yes, you'll probably mist up again over the fate of that stupid dog in I Am Legend).
The rest of the book is filled out with appreciations of Matheson written by editor Mark Dawidziak, John Carpenter, Frank Spotnitz, Mick Garris, Richard Christian Matheson, Steve Niles, Rockne S. O"Bannon, Ray Bradbury and John Scoleri. Mostly short exercises in reverence and praise, the essays offer little illumination regarding the subject matter. They are, however, entertaining and well written.
The question you're going to have to ask yourself in trying to decide whether you want to own this impressive but pricey book is just how much you prize Matheson's writing. If you're looking for an impressive and collectible showcase of a lot of his important work, then this is the book for you. If you're looking for in depth scholarship, you'll probably be disappointed.
