Book Reviews of Nightmare At 20,000 Feet: Horror Stories By Richard Matheson
Book Review: Classic Urban Horror !
Summary: 5 Stars
Richard Matheson's total mastery of urban-based horror is perfectly showcased in this collection of 20 of his short stories. Ranging from tales which formed the basis of a couple of "The Twilight Zone"s finest episodes, the classic "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" and the beautifully crafted "Long Distance Call" which has one of the best endings ever, one which stays with the reader long after the book has been finished. Remember the tv movie "Trilogy of Terror" ? Most people remember the final story where actress Karen Black was stalked through her apartment by an African Tribal doll, this story too is included in this collection. In among the witches, unexplained disappearances and tales of mystical retribution, Matheson also explores the premise that the scariest monster of all may be our own paranoia, as evidenced in "Legion of Plotters". Usually, in the case of anthologies like this, there are a few tales that fail to grasp, but this in no way the case here.
