Legends of the Underwood #2: Richard Matheson

I wrote Fury on Sunday in three days. We lived in an apartment right near the beach I used for Someone Is Bleeding. I had a little typewriter, my old Standard Corona that I got when I was twelve years old from my sister at Christmas, and I sat in a closet and banged the thing out in three days. That's why some of the writing is quite interesting, because it's really stream of consciousness.

—Richard Matheson, quoted in Matthew R. Bradley's introduction to Noir: Three Novels of Suspense
