About

Soon to be a major motion starring Hugh Jackman, here is a new short story collection by the New York Times bestselling author of I Am Legend. Imagine a future in which human boxing has been replaced by heavyweight bouts between massive robots. Richard Matheson's classic short story, “Steel,” is the inspiration for Real Steel, a new movie starring Hugh Jackman. “Steel” is just one of over a dozen unforgettable tales in this outstanding collection, including a satirical fantasy, “The Splendid Source,” and two new stories never before collected in any previous Matheson collection.

Reviews

"Stands as a testament to Matheson's literary longevity."
Publishers Weekly
"'Steel' is the excellent lead-off in this collection of more than a dozen Matheson gems, all brought to life with terrific drama, heart, and edge by Scott Brick. Holding their own amid his fantastic plots, Matheson's main characters always have specific, memorable personalities. Brick makes the most of those detailed characterizations."
