I've seen a lot of Richard Matheson's work in movies and tv, but this is the first time I've actually read his short stories. I primarily picked up this collection because it includes "Duel" which is Spielberg's first movie and one of my favorites. It's great to see how it originally appeared even if Matheson adaptation the screenplay a little differently - I can't believe that Mann (with two Ns) actually sees the trucker's face. I really enjoyed both formats and seeing the differences in them. Some other favorites from this collection include "Third From The Sun", "F-", "Shipshape Home" (Peter Lorre gets mentioned!), "The Last Day", "Little Girl Lost" (adapted into a great Twilight Zone episode), "Trespass" (pretty sure that baby was a little Time Lord!), and "One For The Books".
