Used book – Short Stories, Volume 2: 1953-1959, Richard Matheson, Jacques Chambon, Hélène Collon

A zoo whose inhabitants serve as a larder to feed a terrifying creature... A university professor who travels through time to strengthen his wavering faith... In this second volume, the author's talent is at its zenith. A goldsmith of dread, a master of the macabre, a great manipulator of reality's deviations, he also makes some delicious forays into westerns and unbridled humor. This is a perfect demonstration of Richard Matheson's fertile genius, whom Stephen King rightly hails here as his spiritual father. The complete edition of these short stories - presented in the order of their composition and in new or carefully revised translations - will comprise three volumes.
