Somewhere In Time is the story of a love which transcends time , What Dreams May Come is the story of a love which transcends death . ... I feel that they represent the best writing I have done in the novel form.
Richard MathesonI think What Dreams May Come is the most important (read effective) book I've written. It has caused a number of readers to lose their fear of death the finest tribute any writer could receive. ... Somewhere In Time is my favorite novel.
Richard MathesonNot only did I rediscover every experience of my life, I had to live each unfulfilled desire as wellโas though theyโd been fulfilled. I saw that what transpires in the mind is just as real as any flesh and blood occurrence. What had only been imagination in life, now became tangible, each fantasy a full reality. I lived them allโwhile, at the same time, standing to the side, a witness to their, often, intimate squalor. A witness cursed with total objectivity.
