As detailed in last week's post, I had the honor of enlisting John Carpenter to write an appreciation of Richard Matheson for inclusion in the book.
Not only did he agree to do it, but he actually mailed me a typed copy of his appreciation (the others just sent theirs via email).
John's 2-page appreciation was truly heartfelt, and a welcome addition to the book. To my knowledge it hasn't appeared anywhere else. I am particularly honored to retain the original typescript.
Be here next week, for another item from the I Am Legend Archive.
