Library Addition: R. C. Matheson’s Bombyx

Thursday, February 26th, 2026

Another PS Publishing book came in:

Matheson, Richard Christian. Bombyx. PS Publishing, 2025 (not shipped until 2026). First edition hardback, #58 of 200 copies signed by both Matheson and Mick Garris (who is co-credited with the story), a Fine copy in decorated boards and a Fine dust jacket. Novella of a guy graduating rehab who suddenly feels that everyone hates him.

I will have one copy of this in the next Lame Excuse Books catalog.

Library Addition: Lettered Edition of Matheson’s Pride

Tuesday, March 15th, 2022

I don’t think I have any other Richard Matheson lettered editions, but I picked this one up at a very attractive price.

  • Matheson, Richard, and Richard Christian Matheson. Pride. Gauntlet Press, 2002. First edition hardback, letter R of 52 lettered copies, a Fine- copy with a slight outlines of the enclosed CD of the authors reading the story on the rear cover, and a Fine traycase with a manuscript page inserted on the inside lid, sans dust jacket, as issued. A somewhat elaborate production. Features iterative drafts of this collaborative father-and-son short story. Bought from a fellow Biblio dealer for $65.
