Pride
Richard Matheson. Gauntlet Press, $30 (32pp) ISBN 978-1-887368-63-6
Ever wonder how two authors collaborate on a story? Now you can see the process in action in Pride, the tale of a divorced mother of three who remarries a man who wants his own children, by Richard Matheson and Richard Christian Matheson. The text includes facsimiles of the senior Matheson's first handwritten draft, his son's first typewritten draft with corrections and notes, and the teleplay collaboration that combines elements of both. That this is the first new short story from Richard Matheson since the 1970s is an added bonus.
