I've only read 2 Mattheson books before Hell House (not great) and I am Legend (a masterpiece) but I'm also aware that Mattheson has written many short works for TV (Twilight Zone) so I was unsure of how good this would be. I have to say that he really is somewhat of dark little imp, the stories inside are wry looks at human nature and very well written. The original version of Button Button actually has a far better ending than the Twilight Zone version. Anyway, great collection of short stories, highly recomended.
