  Dance of the Dead by Richard Matheson 
  Richard Matheson was an influential American author known for his contributions to science fiction, horror, and fantasy literature. His unique storytelling style and exploration of existential themes have left an indelible mark on the literary world. 
  Matheson's literary career began in the 1950s when he started writing short stories for magazines like The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction and Galaxy Science Fiction. His early works often featured themes of isolation, fear, and the human condition. 
  One of Matheson's notable attributes was his versatility as a writer. He effortlessly transitioned between genres, exploring science fiction, horror, fantasy, and even westerns. This diversity allowed him to reach a wide audience and gain recognition across various literary circles. 
  Matheson's impact on popular culture cannot be overstated. His works have inspired countless writers, filmmakers, and artists across generations. His ability to tap into universal fears and emotions resonates with audiences to this day. 
  Perhaps Matheson's most famous work, I Am Legend, published in 1954, is a seminal piece of vampire fiction. The novel, set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by vampires, explores themes of loneliness, survival, and the human psyche. 
  Another significant work by Matheson, The Shrinking Man (1956), tells the story of a man who begins to shrink after being exposed to a radioactive cloud. The novel delves into themes of identity, mortality, and the insignificance of humanity in the face of the unknown. 
  Hell House (1971) is a chilling tale of a haunted house and the team of investigators tasked with uncovering its secrets. Matheson masterfully blends elements of horror and psychological suspense, creating a gripping narrative that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.

  “Peopled with singular protagonists and downright scary villains, this bleak-yet-romantic tale is a whirlwind ride for the right reader.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
   
  On a storm-ravaged night, a nineteen-year-old girl is kidnapped, raped, and killed. Three days later, her two younger brothers set out in search of her murderer. Cole, seventeen, is a dark-eyed devil who doesn’t care if he lives or dies, while Ruben, fourteen, is a strange child who sometimes, inexplicably, experiences sensations above and beyond his own. This is the story of the boys’ journey from their half-Roma home on a London junk lot to the ghostly moors of Devon, where they hope and fear to find the truth about their sister’s death. It’s a long road, cold and hard and violent. It’s The Road of the Dead. 
   
  “Fans of Brooks’s Martyn Pig, Kissing the Rain, Candy and Lucas, won’t be disappointed by this thrilling, gritty story and it’s memorable, heart-breaking characters.” —Kirkus Reviews 
   
  “Brooks’s feel for mood and setting is as masterful here as in his taut, noir Martyn Pig. A haunting, tense drama builds from the first line and only lets up for scenes of brutal, vivid violence that bring readers back down to earth.” —School Library Journal 
   
  “Brooks succeeds on every level with this enthralling mystery/thriller that will keep readers turning pages well past bedtime. The descriptions are poetic, and the dialogue is lyrical but realistic.” —Horn Book
