    Richard Matheson

    Born in Allendale, New Jersey to Norwegian immigrant parents, Matheson was raised in Brooklyn and graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School in 1943. He then entered the military and spent World War II as an infantry soldier. In 1949 he earned his bachelors degree in journalism from the University of Missouri and moved to California in 1951. He married in 1952 and has four children, three of whom (, , and Ali Matheson) are writers of fiction and screenplays.

    His first short story, Born of Man and Woman, appeared in the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in 1950. The tale of a monstrous child chained in its parents cellar, it was told in the first person as the creatures diary (in poignantly non-idiomatic English) and immediately made Matheson famous. Between 1950 and 1971, Matheson produced dozens of stories, frequently blending elements of the science fiction, horror and fantasy genres.

    Several of his stories, like Third from the Sun (1950), Deadline (1959) and Button, Button (1970) are simple sketches with twist endings; others, like Trespass (1953), Being (1954) and Mute (1962) explore their characters dilemmas over twenty or thirty pages. Some tales, such as The Funeral (1955) and The Doll that Does Everything (1954) incorporate zany satirical humour at the expense of genre clichés, and are written in an hysterically overblown prose very different from Mathesons usual pared-down style. Others, like The Test (1954) and Steel (1956), portray the moral and physical struggles of ordinary people, rather than the then nearly ubiquitous scientists and superheroes, in situations which are at once futuristic and everyday. Still others, such as Mad House (1953), The Curious Child (1954) and perhaps most famously, Duel (1971) are tales of paranoia, in which the everyday environment of the present day becomes inexplicably alien or threatening.

    He wrote a number of episodes for the American TV series The Twilight Zone, including Steel, mentioned
