Inc Shrinking Man sci fi classic horror review

From six foot two inches tall, to two inches tall--then even smaller.
Menaced by a gargantuan cat. Fighting a horridly huge spider.

"The thimble loomed over him like a giant vat, the lip of it a good six feet over his head.
After awhile he stood up and looked for a pebble again. There were three feet left...he..braced himself, and jumped.
His fingers clawed at the edge...the thimble was tipping..."
"...The spider tried to leap at him...jaws spread wide to clamp on him..The pin was slick with blood..."
"They moved around, their heads more than half a mile high. He couldn't see her face, only the great moving redness of her skirt...He was an insect to her."
from The Incredible Shrinking Man/ Richard Matheson. Available in book, audiobook, graphic novel form.

Shrinking Man book commentary


"...this is exactly what a walking, talking man deals with when he is the size of an average bunny pellet. The near-fatal attack of Butch the Cat affirms the worst fears of what our pets really would do to us if we were not able to pick them up."
A cinematic horror
