Description

The legendary novel of science-fiction horror: "The author who influenced me the most as a writer was Richard Matheson" (Stephen King).

After he is exposed to a radioactive cloud, Scott Carey finds himself shrinking, slowly, day-by-day, inch-by-inch. Scott once had a normal, everyday existence as a husband and father, but as time passes, he becomes a national spectacle, something worthy of newspaper headlines. As Carey shrinks, smaller and smaller, his family become giants, more and more unreachable, and even the family cat becomes a predatory menace. In this world of disproportion, increasingly perilous with each passing day, Scott struggles to survive -- and is pushed to the very limits of fear and existence...
Adapted into the Hugo Award-winning film The Incredible Shrinking Man, this is a classic by the author of I Am Legend and other renowned works -- a master of imagination whom Ray Bradbury called "one of the most important writers of the twentieth century."

"A classic of suspense as poignant as it is frightening -- a mix that only Richard Matheson could pull off." -- Dean Koontz
