I probably would have caught that when I got to the stories that originated in Matheson's own collections, but I appreciate the chance to fix it now. I wonder if as a result of the name change it slipped by Gauntlet as well. <br /><br />Of course I should have also recalled it from The Matheson Companion, aka The Twilight and Other Zones, your indispensable guide to Matheson edited with Stan Wiater and Paul Stuve. No Matheson fan should be without it!John Scolerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15830334036783163702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-43662040274592416712010-10-26T18:53:46.229-07:002010-10-26T18:53:46.229-07:00I'm afraid all I know is what Richard wrote in...I'm afraid all I know is what Richard wrote in his OFF BEAT afterword: "'All and Only Silence' was originally titled 'The Last Blah in the etc.' which [editor] Bill Nolan, correctly, did not think was a very good title and changed."

Do you know the details behind the name change for the Gauntlet chapbook (and subsequent reprinting under "The Last Blah in the Etc" in Matheson Uncollected Volume 1)?John Scolerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15830334036783163702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-6188920556969605732010-10-25T21:29:22.691-07:002010-10-25T21:29:22.691-07:00For the record, "The Last Blah in the Etc&quo...For the record, "The Last Blah in the Etc" originally appeared in OFF BEAT as "All and Only Silence."Matthew Bradleymatthew r. bradley is the author of richard matheson on screen (http://www.mcfarlandpub.com/book-2.php?id=978-0-7864-4216-4%29%2C+now+on+sale+from+McFarland%2C+and+the+co-editor%E2%80%94with+Stanley+Wiater+and+Paul+Stuve%E2%80%94of+The+Richard+Matheson+Companion+%28Gauntlet%2C+2008%29%2C+revised+and+updated+as+The+Twilight+and+Other+Zones%3A+The+Dark+Worlds+of+Richard+Matheson+%28Citadel%2C+2009%29.++Check+out+his+blog%2C+Bradley+on+Film+%28http%3A%2F%2Fbradleyonfilm.wordpress.com%2F%29.noreply@blogger.com
