The Best of the Best,
By
This review is from: Charles Beaumont: Selected Stories (Hardcover)
Charles Beaumont's life was cut short, tragically short. What he could have accomplished had he lived to a ripe old age is one of the great "if only's..."of American literature. Along with Richard Matheson, Harlan Ellison, Ray Bradbury, Jerome Bixby, Jack Finney and a select few others, Beaumont did much to breathe new life and originality into the genre of suspense, setting the stage for classic TV shows like "The Twilight Zone" (for which he wrote some memorable scripts), "The Outer Limits", "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", etc. This collection brings together the best proseworks Beaumont created and is an excellent starting place for those who treasure tales that intrigue, entertain and raise the gooseflesh on cold, blustery nights. Mr. Anker has worked closely with Beaumont's son to put together this book as well as anthologies of Beaumont's TV scripts and unpublished manuscripts. Anker is to be commended for his efforts at keeping the writings of this American master of the macabre in print and available to discerning readers.
