Matheson "was a seminal figure in the horror and fantasy genres, as important in his way as Poe or Lovecraft.... He fired my imagination by placing his horrors not in European castles and Lovecraftian universes, but in American scenes I knew and could relate to. ‘I want to do that,’ I thought. ‘I must do that.’ Matheson showed the way.” -- Stephen King on the passing of Richard Matheson (02/20/1926 - 06/23/2013)
