Minotauro recupera para su colección de ESENCIALES una de las mejores novelas sobre casas encantadas del maestro del terror Richard Matheson

En 1940 una expedición de cinco personas se internó en la infame Casa Belasco para desentrañar los misterios de la que era considerada como la casa más peligrosa del mundo. Sólo uno de ellos consiguió salir con vida.

Treinta años después, el millonario Rolf Randolph Deutsch contrata a cuatro extraños, entre ellos el único superviviente de la masacre de 1940, para demostrar la existencia de la vida después de la muerte. Para ello deberán pasar una semana en la Casa Belasco. La Casa Infernal les ha permitido entrar, pero ¿los dejará salir? 

Recuperamos el clásico Soy Leyenda, de Richard Matheson, en nuestra colección Minotauro Esenciales.

Robert Neville es el único superviviente de una guerra bacteriológica que ha asolado el planeta y convertido al resto de la humanidad en vampiros. Su vida se ha reducido a asesinar el máximo número posible de estos seres sanguinarios durante el día, y a soportar su asedio cada noche. Para ellos, el auténtico monstruo es este hombre que lucha por subsistir en un nuevo orden establecido.
Todo un clásico en su género, éste es un perturbador relato sobre la soledad y el aislamiento y una reflexión sobre los binomios como normalidad y anormalidad, bien y mal, que se evidencian como una mera convención derivada del temor y el desconcierto ante lo diferente.
Soy Leyenda está considerada la mejor novela de vampiros del siglo XX y ha inspirado tres películas, la más reciente, protagonizada por Will Smith.

The iconic science fiction vampire novel, adapted into the film starring Will Smith. The last man on earth is not alone . . .

For over twenty years, Belasco House has stood empty. Its shadowed walls have witnessed scenes of almost unimaginable horror and depravity. Two previous expeditions to investigate its secrets met with disaster, the participants destroyed by murder, suicide or insanity.

Now a new investigation brings four strangers to the forbidding mansion who are determined to probe Belasco House for the ultimate secrets of life and death. Each has his or her own reason for daring the unknown torments and temptations of the mansion, but can any soul survive what lurks within the most haunted house on Earth?

"Hell House is the scariest haunted house novel ever written. It looms over the rest the way the mountains loom over the foothills." -- Stephen King

While on a boating holiday, Scott Carey is exposed to a cloud of radioactive spray. A few weeks later, following a series of medical examinations, he can no longer deny the extraordinary truth. Not only is he losing weight, he is also shorter than he was. Scott Carey has begun to shrink.

Richard Matheson's novel follows through its premise with remorseless logic, with Carey first attempting to continue some kind of normal life and later having left human contact behind, having to survive in a world where insects and spiders are giant adversaries. And even that is only a stage on his journey into the unknown.

Richard Matheson's What Dreams May Come, a powerful tale of life--and love--after death was the basis for the Oscar-winning film starring Robin Williams.

The New York Times bestseller

Like What Dreams May Come, which inspired the upcoming movie starring Robin Williams, Somewhere in Time is the powerful story of a love that transcends time and space, written by one of the Grand Masters of modern fantasy.

Matheson's classic novel tells the moving, romantic story of a modern man whose love for a woman he has never met draws him back in time to a luxury hotel in San Diego in 1896, where he finds his soul mate in the form of a celebrated actress of the previous century. Somewhere in Time won the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, and the 1979 movie version, starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, remains a cult classic whose fans continue to hold yearly conventions to this day.

IO SONO LEGGENDA (1954) Robert Neville è probabilmente l'ultimo uomo sul pianeta... vivo. Infatti un morbo incurabile ha trasformato tutti gli altri, uomini, donne e bambini, in vampiri assetati di sangue. Di giorno Robert attraversa le rovine della civiltà, seguendo le tracce dei mostri, li studia e sperimenta nuovi modi per sterminarli. Di notte si barrica in casa, assediato dalle creature delle tenebre, e implora che sorga presto il sole... La situazione di Dracula rovesciata: Robert è un uomo solo in un mondo popolato da creature mostruose, un mondo apocalittico nel quale ogni valore e ogni certezza vengono stravolti. L'orrore, suggerisce Matheson, ci abita accanto.
