description: Some people will remember The Incredible Shrinking Man as a movie with great special effects and a surprisingly good script, given the ridiculous title. Matheson's classic novella is the reason for that. As Scott Carey -- husband, father, and all-around decent guy -- mysteriously shrinks, he faces unimagined horrors at every step, up to the story's surprising resolution. It's packaged here with a number of Matheson's other classic stories, including "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet," which became a popular Twilight Zone episode, and "Duel," which was turned into a movie by a very young Steven Spielberg.Contents:The Incredible Shrinking Man (1956) novelNightmare at 20,000 Feet (1962)The Test (1954)The Holiday Man (1957)Mantage (1959)The Distributor (1958)By Appointment Only (1970)Button, Button (1970)Duel (1971)Shoofly (1988)
