But laden with allegory and metaphor. The Shrinking Man is fantastic! Gateway is another brilliant concept. The sequels are "meh" but that book rocks

neutral · AI labelView post →Richard Matheson's original story of the film The incredible Shrinking Man film, called just The Shrinking Man is amazing and so much darker than the film . Worth reading .
positive · AI labelView post →This is my favourite sci-fi movie along with The Shrinking Man.
