Ричард Матесон: Ride the Nightmare

A secret from Chris Martin’s past disrupts his happy suburban life. A novel of suspense.

STARK TERROR BECOMES A TOTAL REALITY.

There is a special numbing quality to fear that strikes in the safety of your own home. Here is where you should feel most secure. Here’s where you wash the dishes, polish the car, where friends can drop in, where nobody intrudes except the in-laws. Murder has no place here. Terror doesn’t belong.And when monstrous fear and murder bludgeon their way in, you don’t believe it. You’re numb. Until the bleak, deadly truth forces you to frantic terror for those you love. Then you believe it—then you RIDE THE NIGHTMARE.
