Synopsis "other kingdoms"

For over half a century, Richard Matheson has enthralled and terrified readers with such timeless classics as I Am Legend, The Incredible Shrinking Man, Duel, Somewhere in Time, and What Dreams May Come. Now the Grand Master returns with a bewitching tale of erotic suspense and enchantment.... 1918. A young American soldier recently wounded in the Great War, Alex White comes to Gatford to escape his troubled past. The pastoral English village seems the perfect spot to heal his wounded body and soul. True, the neighboring woods are said to be haunted by capricious, even malevolent, spirits, but surely those are just old wives' tales. Aren't they? A frightening encounter in the forest leads him into the arms of Magda Variel, an alluring red-haired widow rumored to be a witch. She warns him to steer clear of the wood and the perilous faerie kingdom it borders, but Alex cannot help himself. Drawn to its verdant mysteries, he finds love, danger...and wonders that will forever change his view of the world.

Es considerado uno de los autores más influyentes del siglo XX por escritores de la talla de Ray Bradbury o Stephen King. Además de su contribución a la ciencia ficción, el terror, la fantasía y el western, Matheson destaca por su labor como guionista. Llevan su firma algunos de los capítulos más memorables de las emblemáticas The twilight zone, Star Trek o The Alfred Hitchcock Hour; además de las adaptaciones de cuentos de Edgar Allan Poe dirigidas por Roger Corman o el primer trabajo cinematográfico de Steven Spielberg. También varios de sus relatos han sido llevados a la gran pantalla, como El increíble hombre menguante en 1957 o El último escalón en 2000. Pero el más recordado de todos ellos es Soy leyenda.
