Richard Matheson has been cited as a heavy influince to other popular writers, such as Stephen King, and Ann Rice… (Stephen King dedicated his novel “Cell” to Matheson, and to film maker George A. Romero).
Also, “I Am Legend” with Will Smith was actually the third or fourth film adaption of the novel… it was a remake of a remake of a remake lol but it was still good in my oppinion. Check out the novel and the original make of the movie if you liked the Smith one (forget who starred in the original). Another good title you can find for free download at manybooks.net is Richard Matheson’s short story “Elergy”.. it was made into an awesome twilight zone episode (one of my personal favorites) and the short story is only like 75 pages on a Nook.. not sure about Kindle but that many books site lets you download in the format of your choice so you can get it for any e-reader device you own.
This was a nice list.. thx for posting. Wells is one of my all time favorites. I have read his works you listed, and also the Mary Shelly, and “Anthem” but the rest I have either never heard of or never read, so thanks for the additions to my “To read soon” list. :) peace

Here’s the link to Project Gutenberg:

http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/18247

Be warned, it’s not the easiest read. The first third is political intrigue, social commentary, it doesn’t pick up until Volume II. For what it’s worth I thought it was worth the effort, the novel is better than early critics suggest, and much more complex than a simple allegory of Shelley’s friends.

And btw,the title of the short story is: Snow,Glass,Apples by Neil Gaiman.Enjoy!

Too many semantic blunders.
