The Incredible Shrinking Man |
|
 | I was really impressed with The Incredible Shrinking Man. The horror slowly overtakes you, and not in the 'things that go bump in the night' way. It's watching a man slowly lose everything that's central to him... his masculinity, his stature as head of his family, his purpose for living, and, probably least of all, his height.
There are plenty of real terrors to be had: giant spiders & bullies & people who want to turn Scott Carey into a sideshow. But the narrative is what makes the book. Richard Matheson does a superb job of capturing with great poignancy the path Scott Carey takes as he slowly lets go of life.
And don't let anyone tell you differently... the ending is fabulous. read more.
