5.0 out of 5 stars Smooth genre hopping, April 20 2004

By	paul mason "dedarkone" (Barrie On) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Journal of the Gun Years (Paperback)

Richard Mattheson is arguably best known for his novel(la) I AM LEGEND, a classic horror novel which much has been written about by fans, critics, and peers. I bring this up because some authors write in a genre very well and experiment or cross over to another genre and even if the story is as strong are not as successful in their second writing category. Even master Stephen King's Dark Tower series where he moves easily from his renown horror tales to dark fantasy isn't as critically or popularly acclaimed as his other books. Mattheson moved his horrific prose into an old west setting gracefully and smoothly. He uses the same economy of words to tell the story of Marshall Halser, who not much of a plot spoiler to add gets shot in opening chapters.

The narrotor is Halser not from beyond the grave per se but in the form of his journals in the hands of a friend and journalist who wishes to publicize them to seperate myth from man. As I said Mattheson is spare in his writing not using five pages of details where one will do, instead he writes a tight plot making this a quick fun read.

Incidentally it won the 1991 Spur award so my praise of his genre transition is a little redundant hehehe.
