Remember the Twlight Zone episode with William Shatner seeing gremlins on the wing of the plane Well, that s the title story And many others in this collection are just as good.
Good horror stories make you experience the world differently Unexpected noises make you jumpy Your slightly odd neighbour begins to look decidedly sinister You lie in bed thinking that you ll be safe if you don t peek your head out from under your blankets When you read a good horror story, fear leaks from its pages and infects you.Richard Matheson s collection Nightmare At 20,000 Feet Horror Stories is mostly made up of these sorts of stories.You ve probably read I am Legend Matheson s story t [...]
Nightmare at 20,000 feet is a collection of short stories by horror and weird fantasy genre trailblazing master Richard Matheson The collection begins with the title story, a favorite of Twilight Zone fans, both from the show and an episode starring a very young William Shatner and the film featuring John Lithgow in the lead This is an excellent way to begin because it highlights Matheson s psychological style of horror blending the surreal and fantastic Matheson s genius is close, subtle, the k [...]
This is my first real foray into Matheson s work that I can remember I read I Am Legend a very long time ago and can t quite recall it I knew he was an important and influential author but I had no idea to what extent It feels to me like he s the author that had the strongest influence on Stephen King Their style of storytelling and pacing at least in the short story work is very similar And you can also see why he was tapped to write The Twilight Zone episodes and why that show adapted a few of [...]
Like Ray Bradbury, Richard Matheson has created timeless stories filled with the surreal, eerie and bizarre, and each one is certainly worth reading.
I love Richard Matheson His short stories are some of the best examples of the craft I ve ever seen He has this way of making me feel like I am a part of the story in a way that works brilliantly, especially considering that Matheson loves an open ending He lets the reader carry on where he leaves off, and that s one of my favorite things about reading his short stories Many of the stories in this collection are ones I ve read elsewhere, but listening to them on audio this time was fantastic Blo [...]

I found Nightmare at 20, 000 Feet and Other Stories at my excellent public library The titular story is the basis for The Twilight Zone episode with William Shatner Well if you like the show, read the book Your heartbeat stays erratic the whole time I love the detail in which Matheson describes the harrowing experience the protagonist has He knows the gremlin is there but the darn thing disappears when he tries to point him out The flight crew gets and convinced that the protagonist is off his [...]
I expected to like this collection, but I did not expect to love it since I am not generally a lover of short stories However, Matheson does such a great job of instantly giving you enough background that you feel completely pulled into the story I found I was able to become vested in the story right away, and that allowed me to connect with the stories The stories themselves are amazing My personal favorites were the title story, Dress of White Silk, Through Cannels and Blood Son Great writing [...]

Holy crap , was this a punch in the gut This collection is for anyone who loves horror It ll knock your socks off All kinds of stories some admittedly better than others, but none of them bad Many of them exceptional.
Wonderful collection of short stories Not quite to the level of Stephen King but very good I would recommend this one.
Nightmare at 20,000 Feet Horror Stories by Richard Matheson should be required reading for all fans of horror Not just because Mr Matheson was one of the first Grand Masters of Horror, inducted in 1993 by The World Horror Convention, or because he has been the influence of such authors as Stephen King Also a Grand Master , but because so many of these short stories were the basis of amazing movies and TV anthologies that we have all enjoyed Nightmare at 20,000 feet Twilight Zone TV series and mo [...]
I expected to LOVE this collection, and while I mightily enjoyed a handful of the stories, others left me feeling cold, confused or just plain ol meh disappointed.Most of that meh is not Matheson s fault I fully recognize him as a master of his craft Stephen King my favorite author admits Matheson is the writer who has influenced him most and the I read of Matheson s work the I believe that The meh is my fault short stories are not usually my bag and it takes a lot for one to really grip and e [...]
More chilling works by a 20th century master of the genre Matheson is a primary influence on modern horror not just literary, but in cinema and television Matheson wrote prolifically for The Twilight Zone and the title story of this collection was adapted for that show If your only Matheson experience so far has been Will Smith in I Am Legend, you owe it to yourself to expand your horizons This collection is a great introduction to typical Matheson themes ordinary folks in horrifying situations, [...]
Finished it on Halloween that was nice timing.Great collection of Matheson scary stories I enjoyed most of them, as I always seem to like his stuff A few were stories I d read before, but it was nice to revisit those too.Favorites Witch War , The Distributor , Mad House , and the title story Most of these would be great as Twilight Zone episodes, and some of them were
Todav a recuerdo aquella pel cula de los 80 que vi siendo un ni o, En los l mites de la realidad , dividida en cuatro episodios, el ltimo de los cu les estaba basado en un relato de Richard Matheson Esa escena en la que el pasajero protagonista descubre a un extra o ser sobre el ala del avi n en el que viaja, me dej realmente impactado Pero tambi n me vienen a la mente otras pel culas en las que el talento de Matheson estaba muy presente, como el primer film de Steven Spielberg, El diablo sobre [...]
Not a perfect book what book is , but shows the range and huge chops of Richard Matheson in the short form, as he blend genres but keeps it dark and probing One of my favorite writers, whom I feel is undervalued a bit in discussions of either our best horror authors, or best American authors in general Stephen King s introduction is wonderful, and succinctly reminds the reader just how important Matheson was as a bridge between the decline of the Great Pulpists Lovecraft, REH, CAS, etc and the r [...]
Es curioso que siendo fan del cine de terror, en lo que respecta a la literatura no es de los g neros que m s frecuento S , leo mucho a Stephen King, Poe es uno de mis escritores favoritos y he disfrutado como una enana con novelas como D jame Entrar o Guerra Mundial Z, pero no es lo primero que miro ni mucho menos cuando entro en una librer a o en la biblioteca.Uno de los autores m s identificativos del g nero, del que beben muchos autores de terror modernos como el propio Stephen King que escr [...]
The one novel I read by Matheson before this has left enough of an impression to warrant checking out this collection and I m so glad I did These stories really showcase Matheson s most impressive talent and it s not so much for supernatural spookiness, though there is plenty of that, the author really shines when it comes to writing the dark deep secrets, the hidden sides of human nature There were some genuinely terrifying stories in this collection about various ways to go mad, about losing y [...]
There are some great Matheson classics in this volume The man is one of the best, in my opinion My favorites, though it s hard to pick just a few, are Blood Son, Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, and Prey This is of a 4.5 stars, but I guess I ll go with 4 I highly recommend this book
Hay alguna historia que es un poco mediocre, pero por lo general son geniales.
Charles Beaumont is still 1 for me, but enjoyable nonetheless.
Ser por que en realidad me considero un lector casual a la hora de los cuentos o relatos cortos situaci n que estoy intentando cambiar que las historias cortas de Matheson me han dejado genuinamente embelesado.Conoc a su trabajo previo en novela Soy leyenda pero se muy bien que su obra de mayor reconocimiento de encuentra en los relatos cortos Inspirando a cientos, entre ellos el propio King, quien de hecho da la introducci n de esta joya, por fin entiendo el alcance y tama o de su peculiar imag [...]

Cada vez que leo algo de este autor m s fascinado me deja No solo por la calidad de sus relatos o novelas, sino por el hecho de tratarse de un autor que escribi lo relatos que tengo entre manos hace m s de 50 a os En este caso, se trata de una recopilaci n de 20 relatos escritos en la d cada de 1950 1960, y son una gran muestra de lo que Matheson era capaz de hacer.La mayor a me han parecido buenos, otros muy buenos, y algunos una aut ntica obra de arte del terror Si tuviera que escoger, me qued [...]
A hero from my childhood Richard Matheson wrote Steel, my favorite Twilight Zone episode, plus he wrote the book that inspired the classic movie The Omega Man with Charlton Heston and Anthony Zerbe I just had to read Prey because I remember screaming along with Karen Black in Trilogy of Terror as the Zuni doll chased her all around her apartment My favorite stories were Blood Son and Dress of White Silk Great American horror
Yet another example of what s wrong with the literary academic community in this world While everyone gets wet in the pants at the mention of Faulkner, Hemingway, Fitzgerald and their great contribution to the world of letters, they bypass people like Matheson who wrote some of the most perfect short stories ever written If you want to learn how to write a short story, read this book.
Stories all ranged from 2 stars to 4 stars I give the collection 3.25 stars overall It was a nice Halloween month read
