Richard Matheson is a highly accomplished novelist whose best known works include "I Am Legend", "Hell House", "What Dreams May Come", and "Stir of Echoes". But back in 194950 when he was a 23year old unpublished, unknown, aspiring writer he wrote Hunger And Thirst, 750page major novel that even his own agent declared unpublishable. The manuscript for this opus lay in a filing cabinet for fifty years, until Richard Matheson's son convinced Gauntlet Press publisher Barry Hoffman to read it. The result is this previously unknown work is now available to the reading public. The story line finds Erick Linstrom, paralyzed and lying helpless in a New York City furnished room. As the days drag by, Erick relives his past, recalling the varied experiences that were to eventually bring him to his current plight. Hunger And Thirst is a "must" for all Richard Matheson fans!
