Review:

"The author who influenced me the most as a writer was Richard Matheson."-Stephen King "Matheson is the master of paranoia-pitting a single man against unknown horrors and examining his every slow twist in the wind." 7 Steps "is a book to be devoured in one long swallow."-"San Jose Mercury News" "Richard Matheson is one of the great names in American terror fiction." 7 Steps to Midnight "commands attention. . . . The pace is as frantic as anything since the days of Sax Rohmer-but the writing is fortunately up to Matheson's high standards. This is a novel that flies across the page."-"The Philadelphia Inquirer"
