Richard Christian Matheson Synopses: Created By is a standalone novel by Richard Christian Matheson. Alan White is a hot young writer-producer looking for the smash hit that will make his career. He thinks he’s found it with a new TV show called The Mercenary. The network has never seen anything like it. It’s full of sex, violence and nudity, and the ratings are through the roof. Alan couldn’t be happier. Until the morning’s headlines start to read like a rerun of the previous night’s episode. Until The Mercenary begins to take on a terrifying life of its own. Until it becomes chillingly clear that Alan must cancel his creation – before it cancels him.
The Ritual of Illusion is a novella by Richard Christian Matheson. Academy Award-winning actress, Sephanie Vamore, meteors to iconic fame … but like cinema itself, nothing is as it appears. The fifty witnesses to her mythic ascent and bizarre fate are film royalty… many based on Hollywood glitterati; directors, stars, agents, studio heads, screenwriters, lovers, producers. Her story is told in the style of Rashomon with dialogue alone – each hypnotic character adding poignant or lurid details to the shocking truth of what she really is.
