Media Reviews
The author who influenced me the most as a writer was Richard Matheson. -Stephen King
Matheson is the master of paranoia-pitting a single man against unknown horrors and examining his every slow twist in the wind. 7 Steps is a book to be devoured in one long swallow. - San Jose Mercury News
Richard Matheson is one of the great names in American terror fiction. 7 Steps to Midnight commands attention. . . . The pace is as frantic as anything since the days of Sax Rohmer-but the writing is fortunately up to Matheson's high standards. This is a novel that flies across the page. - The Philadelphia Inquirer
