For the record, <i>Someone Is Bleeding</i> was NOT based on "The Frigid Flame" (<i>Justice</i>, October 1955). Rather, both that and "The Untouchable Divorcee" (<i>Stag</i>, May 1956) were abbreviated versions of the novel created for magazine publication. Similarly, "The Frenzied Weekend" (<i>For Men Only</i>, June 1956) was an abridgement of <i>Fury on Sunday</i>. However, <i>Ride the Nightmare</i> actually WAS expanded from "Now Die in It" (<i>Mystery Tales</i>, December 1958).Matthew Bradleyhttps://bradleyonfilm.wordpress.com/publications/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-77917007276872410502010-09-06T10:32:10.057-05:002010-09-06T10:32:10.057-05:00I want to buy the same version you purchased in or...I want to buy the same version you purchased in order to have three excellent works of this awesome author.

Try the shorter version, I remember it being one of the best pieces I ever read.

I never read that version (despite having a story in the same anthology).James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-30770188394902910212007-09-19T04:25:00.000-05:002007-09-19T04:25:00.000-05:00Wasn't the novellette that Matheson based this on ...Wasn't the novellette that Matheson based this on published in an anthology some ten years back? AMERICAN PULP, perhaps? I think that was absolutely great. (But it may have been another one of his crime novels.) <BR/><BR/>RIDE THE NIGHTMARE (1959) became a very good episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.Jurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021010310386744591noreply@blogger.com
