In his first long-form fiction since Beautiful You in 2014, the author of Fight Club and Choke delivers another biting social satire in this riches-to-rags novella! This hardcover edition features beautiful colorable illustrations by Steve Morris (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), who worked on Palahnuik's Bait: Off-Color Stories for You to Color, and Mike Norton (Revival, Battlepug), with a cover by another Bait collaborator, Duncan Fegredo (Hellboy). Legacy is sure to engage readers with its boundary pushing story-telling while challenging their creative side through its visionary and twisted colorable imagery. An amoral investment banker named Vincent receives an inheritance promising immortality. Unfortunately for Vincent to obtain imortality he has to contend with a flame-retardant stripper, a ruthless stalker, and a bloodthirsty horde of other aspiring immortals dead set in their desire to separate Vincent from his destiny. Praise for Bait: Off-Color Stories for You to Color "The conceit is a blast. Ingenious...Palahniuk likes to involve his readers, and maybe even have them be co-conspirators. I loved this book. It's smart in a new way that deserves to be recognized. Congratulations once again to Palahniuk for showing us a new way to do things...and to make us involved."--FORCES OF GEEK "Chuck Palahniuk is pushing boundaries again

Especificaciones del producto
Escrito por Richard Matheson
Richard Matheson (1926-2013) va néixer a Nova Jersey. El 1951 va publicar el seu primer relat, «Nascut d’home i de dona», que va marcar l’inici de la seva meteòrica carrera i va assentar les bases de la literatura de terror modern. Va escriure molts guions per a cinema i televisió, i molts dels seus relats es van popularitzar a través de les adaptacions de la mítica sèrie La dimensió desconeguda. A més, algunes de les seves novel·les i històries s’han convertit en pel·lícules de renom, com L’increïble home minvant, El diable sobre rodes, Soc llegenda i Quins somnis vindran. Al llarg de la seva carrera va guanyar diversos premis, entre els quals destaquen el World Fantasy (1976, 1978, 1984, 1990), el Bram Stoker (1990, 1991), el Locus (1990) o el Retro Hugo (2001).
