14 MATHESON, RICHARD, ROGER CORMAN & ED NAHA The Films of Roger Corman. Brilliance on a Budget
New York Arco 1982 
First Edition. Signed and inscribed by the author, Richard Matheson: ÒFrom Roger's EAP [Edgar Allan Poe] writer, Richard Matheson. Also signed and inscribed by the author, Ed Naha: ÒFor Ernest, Jack Nicholson is missing [????]. Best, Ed Naha, 10/9/89.Ó Oversized format, 8 3/4Ó x 11 1/4Ó. Illustrated throughout with scenes from the films and life of the great maverick director, producer, and mentor Roger Corman. Fine in a fine bright dust jacket. Richard Matheson is featured throughout the text, especially so in the chapter entitled ÔThings That Go Bump In the Night' where Corman's stylized productions of the work of Edgar Allan Poe are discussed. Matheson wrote the screenplay's for Corman's House of Usher, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Raven, and Tales of Terror. ÒScreenwriter and novelist (Hell House) Richard Matheson, who scripted many of the original Poe films, is still bemused over the beginnings of the long-running series. ÔI was called in by James Nicholson in 1959,' he says. ÔI met with Roger, Nicholson, and Arkoff. They wanted to do an Edgar Allan Poe film. I don't think they had any idea that the movie would start a trend. It was just something to do.'...Tales of Terror proved to be the biggest success of the series to date. ÔI had just about had it up to my eyeballs with all the heavy torture and burial stuff, so I made it funny.' Corman comments, ÒWe did The Raven as a comedy, because I was tired of the gothic stuff. Dick Matheson deserves a lot of credit there because his script was wonderful. He also felt that we should vary in some ways from the standard Poe approach. In fact, it was his original idea that we should move into comedy. I was only too happy to agree.Ó The front panel of the dust jacket is illustrated with full-color posters from some of Corman's best known films, including Battle Beyond the Stars, Deathsport, Not of This Earth, The Haunted Palace, The Wild Angels, and House of Usher.

16 MATHESON, RICHARD The Link
Colorado Springs Gauntlet Press 2006 
First Edition. Of an edition of 552 copies signed by the author, Richard Matheson, this is one of the special 52 lettered copies with extra features. As new in dust jacket enclosed in the publisher's original box. The Link began as a 557-page outline Richard Matheson wrote for a proposed 20-hour ABC-TV mini-series in the 1970's. Television executives asked him to shorten the series into 7 hours. Later, after Matheson had written three hours of the miniseries the two parted company. Matheson's vision could not be condensed without destroying the essence of the plot and characters. This is that original outline, in narrative form, appearing here in publication for the first time. The story follows Robert Allright as he explores both his own demons and those of psychics past, as he struggles to decipher his father's dying wish to explore an archeological dig in Arizona. His only clue is a mystifying crystal that his father believes is the key to a great discovery. The Lettered edition has one of the manuscript pages from The Link signed by Matheson, and each book has a different page to add to its uniqueness. The Lettered edition will also contain a portion of the teleplay Matheson wrote for ABC-TV in the printed book, itself.
