Among the greats of 20th-century horror and fantasy, few names stand above Richard Matheson. Though known by many for novels like I Am Legend and his 16 Twilight Zone episodes, Matheson truly shines in his chilling, masterful short stories. Since his first story appeared in 1950, virtually every major writer of science fiction and fantasy has fallen under his influence, including Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Peter Straub, and Joe Hill, as well as filmmakers like Stephen Spielberg and J. J. Abrams.

Stephen King favorite?
I grew up watching the original Twilight Zone marathons and of course had my favs. "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet", "The monsters are due on Maple St." etc. I also loved Vincent Price's renditions of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" and "The Pit snd the Pendulum". My favorite movie (still to this day) is 1980"s "Somewhere in Time". a movie that scared the Hell out of me was Spielberg's first major picture "Duel". then in the 90's I fell in love with my 2nd most favorite movie of all time "What Dreams May Come". a girl I was dating at the time was an avid bookworm and she decided to read the paperback. A few days into it she said "This story is way better than the movie and it was written by the same guy Richard Matheson that wrote "Somewhere in Time"! I had to read it to see if she knew good stories. WOW! The first time I read it I finished the entire thing in a little over a day. It grabs you from the beginning and never let's go. I did research for Matheson. All of the aforementioned? Matheson! He was a fellow Jersey boy as well. And one of King and Spielberg's favorite authors? I think I read that Matheson was an influence on Kubrik too? I saw that Matheson has been a major staple in Horror, Sci-fi, Romance, etc? This story encompasses them all. I told eople about this book and how (at the time) I read 3 times. I made the mistake of lending the book out to female Co-workers only to have it "Conveniently misplaced" 4 times! Yes it is that good. enter the internet and Social media. I joined a "S.I.T. (Somewhere in Time) group and there was one member named Ali Matheson! She ended up being Richard's daughter and gave me some insight on her father's stories, being on set of his productions. Her middle name is "Marie" and family members were the Character's names in his stories. Richard was still alive at the time and..... and..... she asked him to just message me because I was a fan since "The Twilight Zone" etc. I have read a lot of books from King, Poe, Byron, etc etc. Matheson is by far, STILL my favorite author with my top two all time favorite movies.

Tragically beautiful
Richard Matheson is a Master Storyteller and shines yet again.
Until I came across this audiobook, I had only seen the movie with Robin Williams starring. I loved the movie instantly and it never has failed to bring tears to my eyes. The original book is always better than a movie, in my opinion and this book is no different.
I have always mourned at not having found love. A true love. A Corinthian kind of love. A love like in this story where Chris loves Ann.
This will Always be my favorite story. Book, audio, or film.

If you don't like weak characters, pass on this
If you have a low tolerance for weak and whiny characters, this might be a book to avoid. Chris is a man who has died but can't let go of his wife - however he can barely muster anywhere near the same determination about his four children.
I am only slightly exaggerating by reporting that nearly every sentence for the first three quarters of the book is some variation of "I needed to see Anne" or "I needed to talk to Anne" or "I needed to help Anne".
After his death he sets about disregarding the advice of EVERYONE in the afterlife who he asks advice from and attempts to reconnect with his wife.
The narration doesn't help either - it's like a smarmy self help therapist and it grated on me the whole way through.
It was an exercise of determination for me to persist through to the end and now that I have finished the wishy washy philosophical mashup of heaven, hell, reincarnation and eternal love of soul mates that is the ending to the story, I offer you one word to sum up this book - twaddle.

SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE MOVIE!!!
The book goes into detail about the afterlife. However it is read more like an instructor at a seminar than a dramatic story. That was probably why some people didn't like it. I enjoyed it because I have a profound belief in the afterlife and wanted to hear another person's thoughts on it.
The movie: I didn't care for the movie. I mean I loved the story and the actors however I didn't like the depiction of the characters and how it is do different than the book. In the movie the whole family dies and I thought that was over the top. Then he meets his son and daughter in "heaven" too ridiculous!!
The book is so much better albeit devoid of dramatics. It's written in a non fiction style.
I highly recommend the read!!

Til death do not part
What Dreams May Come by Richard Matheson is an afterlife fantasy. A man who dies as a result of an auto accident learns that the afterlife is not as simple as heaven and hell, but merely another stage in existence. Unfortunately, his wife does not adjust well to her loss and subsequently commits suicide whereupon, he learns that she is relegated to her own private hell for the remainder of what would have been her natural life. His love for her is so strong that he descends into hell (or what is described as the lower realms) to retrieve her and decides that if he can't extract her, he will spend the time with her, rather than abandon her.
Matheson weaves a desirable vision of the afterlife with the lower realms and hell itself as something individuals do to themselves. Even the stage that the main character experiences is only the first stage in what is alluded to be an ever-expanding series of successive planes of existence. This worldview is aligned with an individual making his own heaven or hell rather than an outside force imposing rules of behavior and making judgment calls. Lastly, the sense of a 'soulmate' is offered as a real thing that can transcend even the structural limitations of the universe.
The narration is well done with excellent character distinction and well aligned pacing.

Skip the book. See the film.
One of those rare instances where the movie actually is better than the book. Way better. It retains the basic outline, salient points, and aesthetic details (not to mention adding a depth and beauty missing in the book) while dispensing with a lot of the arrogant, legalistic, and codependent baggage contained in the book. I will say that the narrator did a fine job, however I found the book to be a somewhat twisted and disturbing version of the film.

We get it, he loves Ann
Please excuse any grammar and spelling I'm on mobile.
So I'm not going to be to harsh on this because I got it for free.
I understand this is about a man and a woman who love each other. I get he passes and misses her a great deal, but my God 94% of the story is him pining over his wife. There is love then there is unhealthy upsession. There is little substance to this story because most of it is him talking about ann.
Throughout the whole book I can not remember a single significant event other then his death, because there are none and I quit halfway through. The story is trying to build its world through characters and not setting, but the main character is so annoying and we know nothing about ann other then his memories it's hard to care. This could've been good if it dealt with more than just ann.
The narrator is meh. He's the intellectual deep voice type that kind of monotones his way through the story adding no inflection or character making this already mind numbing story worse.
I'll stick with the Robin Williams film rather then his meandering storyless book.

Profound
This book is really interesting. I read it about 10 years ago. Revisiting the audiobook version (which is excellent), I've realized it was the first book to plant the idea in my mind that our thoughts create our reality, and that we're responsible for them.
The story is also very beautiful; an incredible love story full of growth and adventure. It's a modern Dante's Inferno, and I think it has much to teach.
I also recommend "A New Earth," by Eckhart Tolle. I think it makes a wonderful companion to this.

Read I am Legend or The Shrinking Man Not this
I am Legend and The Shrinking Man are really good books. This does not come even close to those two. This is sad and depressing. RM gives us a version of Heaven and Hell and tries not to upset any religion or group of people. Heaven and Hell are all what you make it in your head and what you believe in. This might make a good lecture, but as a story it was just boring. There is no conflict, no plot or plot twists. In trying to please everybody, RM pleases no one.

Such a captivating story that transports you through the stages of grief, repentance and redemption. Anger, love and sadness, wrapped in a delicate yet strong story read by a skilled, powerful narrator.
Loved the film, and the book is equally as brilliant.

Enlightenment
‘What dreams may come’ is a poignant, profound and ambitious exploration into the afterlife-that is in essence a portrait of true marital love and what it really means to have a soulmate. Akin to all his novels Matheson’s prose is characteristically nuanced- and effortlessly effective, drawing the reader in to his rendition of purgatory, heaven and of course, hell. Furthermore this is brought to life with fantastic narration, and I am left feeling both enlightened and humbled by this novel- highly
recommend.

Great story - average performance
Loved the story although not quite the same as the movie.
Not too keen on the narrators voice as too low and sometimes struggled to hear parts unless at top volume or using headphones.

Exceptional!
I so enjoyed listening to this book. I'm a Buddhist. The concept in the story is so true. Everything is created by mind, be it heaven or heal. The narrator got an exceptional beautiful voice and voice over skill. This is a work that cannot be missed.

Powerful
i first read this book in about 1984 when i was.19 and it had a profound effect on my views about the afterlife. Have always wanted to read it again but couldnt remember the name.or author. 25 years later and my 2nd reading, its impact upon me is still powerful and now consolidates my beliefs

Started amazingly, but finished a bit far fetched.
I guess your enjoyment of this book will be dependent on how closely it matches your belief set. I loved how it started out, then after he started to go after his wife it started to get boring. that's when it felt more like a love story/ novel.
Very well read by the narrator, truly added to the experience.
