The Shrinking Man

by Richard Matheson

Some people will remember The Incredible Shrinking Manas a movie with great special effects and a surprisingly good script, given the ridiculous title. Matheson's classic novella is the reason for that. As Scott Carey -- husband, father, and all-around decent guy -- mysteriously shrinks, he faces unimagined horrors at every step, up to the story's surprising resolution. It's packaged here with a number of Matheson's other classic stories, including "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet," which became a popular Twilight Zoneepisode, and "Duel," which was turned into a movie by a very young Steven Spielberg. Contents: The Incredible Shrinking Man (1956) novel Nightmare at 20,000 Feet (1962) The Test (1954) The Holiday Man (1957) Mantage (1959) The Distributor (1958) By Appointment Only (1970) Button, Button (1970) Duel (1971) Shoofly (1988)
