"An impressive collection" of original short stories by Stephen King, Joe Hill, Nancy A. Collins and others—honoring the renowned author of I Am Legend (Locus). Richard Matheson has inspired a generation of storytellers with his ingeniously weird yet frighteningly realistic tales. Now an outstanding cast of top writers pays tribute to his legacy with an all-new collection of stories set in Matheson's own fictional universes, including sequels, prequels, and companion stories to I Am Legend, Hell House, The Incredible Shrinking Man, Somewhere in Time, "Duel," and "Button, Button." Among the highlights of this one-of-a-kind anthology is the first ever collaboration between Stephen King and his son, bestselling horror writer Joe Hill. Other notable contributors include Nancy A. Collins, Joe R. Lansdale, William F. Nolan, Whitley Strieber, F. Paul Wilson, and Matheson's son, Richard Christian Matheson. Previously published as a limited edition by Gauntlet Press in 2009, He Is Legend is now available to Matheson's many fans, as well as all lovers of gripping horror and suspense.
