Synopsis
Richard Matheson's FIRST and previously UNPUBLISHED novel, written over 50 years ago when Matheson was 23, the book was considered unpublishible by his then agent due to its length. The book sat in Matheson's cabinet for over 50 years and only now sees the light of day. The story of Erick, who after a botched robbery in which he was shot, lays in his room paralyzed and contemplates the mess he's made of his life as he hopes to be saved.

From the Publisher
This is the ONLY signed edition of Matheson's first novel, which also includes an introduction and afterword by Matheson. In the introduction Matheson talks about other long books his started, but has never finished and how not having this book published 50 years ago changed his writing career. In an emotional afterword he discusses the autobiographical nature of the book and how when he read the galley proofs he really didn't like the person he was reading about . . . didn't like some of himself as a young man.
Review
