About
A researcher encounters an exotic new strain of "Backteria" that causes the infected person to vanish-leading the doctor on a path of discovery deep into a past he should have left buried. A simple "Haircut" that starts off as a routine trim becomes a dark and terrifying experience when a barber is confronted with a sick customer who seems otherworldly. A case of mistaken identity leads to a darkly farcical story of marriage, murder, and a love that knows no bounds in "Getting Together." Backteria & Other Improbable Tales gathers these and sixteen more uncanny short stories from master storyteller Richard Matheson.
