Solicitation for Richard Matheson's THE LINK
Gauntlet Press is now taking orders for a signed limited edition of Richard Matheson's THE LINK, which is expected to ship in late-April.
The Link began as a 557-page outline Richard Matheson wrote for a proposed 20-hour ABC-TV mini-series in the 1970's. Television executives asked him to shorten the series into 7 hours. Later, after Matheson had written three hours of the miniseries the two parted company. Matheson's vision could not be condensed without destroying the essence of the plot and characters. This is that original outline, in narrative form (it reads like a novel), appearing here in publication for the first time. There will be no other version of THE LINK published.
The story follows Robert Allright as he explores his own demons, as he struggles to decipher his father's dying wish to explore an archeological dig in Arizona. His only clue is a mystifying crystal that his father believes is the key to a great discovery.
THE LINK will appear in two forms:
The numbered edition, signed by Matheson, is $50 (the cover price is $55).
The lettered edition, signed by Matheson, will have one of the pages from The Link signed by Matheson, and each book will have a different page to add to its uniqueness. The lettered edition will also contain a portion of the teleplay Matheson wrote for ABC-TV. The cover price is $150.
If interested let us know how many of each version you want to order.
Sincerely,
Lamont Ingram
