REVIEWS

“A horror story if ever there was one....a great adventure story—it is certainly one of that select handful that I have given to people, envying them the experience of the first reading.”—Stephen King

“Matheson's legendary 1956 sci-fi tale…is beautifully realized by Yuri Rasovsky's memorable reading. Enthusiastic and compelling, Rasovsky seems predisposed to the suspense master's style of writing. Capturing the brilliant mix of everyday life and extraordinary horrors that Matheson is so revered for creating, Rasovsky reads with a dry, cool wit that breathes new life into this classic tale. He knows exactly how to relay the tension and anxiety to his audience, and never ceases to raise the stakes and bring the audience to their knees in sheer terror. This is a thrilling and unforgettable experience.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“A classic of suspense as poignant as it is frightening—a mix that only Richard Matheson could pull off.”—Dean Koontz

“Richard Matheson is a wonderfully expressive author, drawing emotion out with every turn.”—SFFAudio.com

“Yuri Rasovsky reads with great energy and expression.”—AudioFile

“Rasovsky’s malleable voice gets larger and smaller as the novel flits between Carey’s past and present, and his dramatic pacing and facility with regional accents enhance this audiobook.” —KLIATT
