Novel-ember: Day Twenty Eight

Day Twenty Eight: Duel: Terror Stories by Richard Matheson.

Quite possibly my favorite author. This is a great collection of some of his short stories, but honestly, every compendium of his stories are great. 

This one contains "Duel" and my favorite, "Trespass", which was also made into a TV movie called The Stranger Within. As I've mentioned several times with these authors, go ahead and read everything they've written.

Copies can be found on Amazon.

Day Twenty Seven: House of Stairs , William Sleator. Five kids find themselves trapped in a bizarre environment: a world made up entirely of flights of stairs, forming an incomprehensible labyrinth. The kids are forced to interact for survival.  Amazing young adult sci-fi by one of the best, most creative authors, the late William Sleator. The book reminded me of the 1997 film, Cube . Copies can be found on Amazon .

It was a funny and memorable role and he got to deliver some great lines. The famous quote, "Don't mind her. She's still upset because somebody dropped a house on her sister", was his own and he was thrilled that Burton let him use it in the famous "Day-O" dinner scene. Soon after, I began seeing him in more films, like his bits in Heathers (1989), Meet the Applegates (1991), Sleepwalkers (1992) and his second most well-known role, as Associate Bob in Demolition Man (1993). I loved his role
