Richard Matheson

    20 de febrero de 1926 – 23 de junio de 2013

    Richard Matheson fue un maestro de la literatura de género, cuyas obras a menudo exploran las facetas más oscuras de la psique humana y la sociedad. Sus narrativas, que combinan frecuentemente elementos de ciencia ficción, horror y fantasía, son célebres por sus giros inesperados y sus profundos análisis de individuos comunes enfrentando dilemas extraordinarios. El distintivo estilo de Matheson abarcó desde una prosa austera y concisa hasta elementos satíricamente exagerados, creando relatos repletos de paranoia, luchas morales y elementos sobrenaturales inquietantes que han influido profundamente en el cine y la televisión.
