“The cigarettes nearly killed me. I answer the phone now and people calling think it’s my husband. … And the wigs! Let’s not talk about the fricking wigs, that was such a saga.

“In addition to publishing twenty-eight novels and well over a hundred short stories, Matheson enjoyed a successful career as a screenwriter, and many of his literary works were adapted for the screen, inspiring such diverse motion pictures as I Am Legend, Real Steel, Somewhere In Time, Stir Of Echoes, and The Incredible Shrinking Man.”
