First line

The package was lying by the front door--a cube-shaped carton sealed with tape, the name and address printed by hand.... [from "Button, Button"]

Publisher's note

A new compilation of chilling horror tales by the best-selling author of I Am Legend includes "Button, Button," which inspired a memorable episode of Twilight Zone and deals with a couple who receives a mysterious box that will give them a fortune each time they push a button--at the cost of the life of someone they do not know. Original. 20,000 first printing.

Annotation

This collection of stories--most of which were originally published in the 1950s and '60s--makes a exciting introduction into the work of the writer that Stephen King has claimed as a major influence. Richard Matheson (perhaps best known for his book I AM LEGEND, which has been adapted several times for the big screen) gives readers stories of greed, temptation, and insidious evil. Of note is the story "Box Box," which inspired the 2009 film THE BOX directed by Richard Kelly.
