The three new novels are definitely by Matheson, Sr.. The two
being published by CD Pub are entitled PASSION PLAY and CAMP
PLEASANT, the one by Gauntlet is HUNGER AND THIRST. The son
has a new collection coming out called DYSTOPIA that is
*wonderful*. In fact, his son's use of extremely lean, terse
prose (most of his stories are 3 or 4 pages in entirety) may
qualify him as more "hardboiled" than his father. Hmm, well
perhaps. Oh, and in answer to your western question, yes,
JOURNAL was written by the father...in fact, he had four or
five westerns published in the last decade. JOURNAL was the
first.
