One of the absolute greatest horror fiction writers ever.
The mantle that passed from Edgar Allen Poe to P.H. Lovecraft to Richard Matheson is now worn by Stephen King.
Very sad, and truly one of the great horror writers.
But he died a year ago. Unless you were just marking the one year anniversary of his death!
Well, he is still dead at 87 isn’t he?
This happens every once in a while: an obituary or an article about a celebrity death goes viral years after the fact and not everybody notices that it’s old. No harm done, but I’m closing this thread.
Note: The old thread (June 2013) if anyone wants to post to it: Richard Matheson - R.I.P. - Cafe Society - Straight Dope Message Board
