An Erotic Ghost Story by the Author of Hell House and A Stir of Echoes

Who is Marianna, and where has she come from?
Even as he succumbs to her seductive charms, David realizes that Marianna is far more than a threat to his marriage, for her secrets lie deep in the past and beyond the grave. And her unholy desires endanger the life and soul of everyone she touches.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Minor Matheson -
A fairly rambling ghost story that is ultimately not on par with Matheson's classic Hell House, but is okay if you don't expect much. Too much introspection on the part of the "hero" and not enough stuff really happens. Might be a little too graphic sexually for some people looking for an old fashioned haunted house tale.

Not one of my favorite books by Richard Matheson. Not a bad story, but not my type of book.
A great, quick read - not his best but still has some unique qualities -
I'm a recent fan of Richard Matheson, and this my recent Matheson discovery. This story is about a couple trying to re-ignite the flame of their marriage by revisiting their original honeymoon. A bizarre story quickly unfolds at that point, with some suspense and twists/turns.
I do agree with some of the criticism of this book - it was short, it wasn't as "depthy" as some of his other work. And this is understandable - not a lot of people realize this, but this book started out as a short story written very early in Matheson's career, over 25 years ago. But Matheson revisted it, added to it, and the final product is still a great story with some unique twists. Besides, sometimes I prefer reading "leisurely", and being able to tackle the whole thing in just a day or two. (Call it a guilty pleasure?)
I'm not rating this based on a comparison of his other books, rather, I'm just giving a rating based on how much I enjoyed reading it. Be warned - it does have some erotic moments.
Who would I recommend this book to? I suspect you would like this if you like Matheson's other books/movies, or if you like the TV shows Fallen, New Amsterdam, Moonlight, Heroes, etc.
This Writers Cut Rerelease Edition Under his Own Name is More Graphic than the Original Pen Name Version -
Earthbound was originally published in 1982 under the pen name Logan Swanson. That Earthbound version was more edited than this 1989 re-release under his own name.
Earthbound is certainly no where near the masterpiece league level of Matheson's classics I Am Legend, The Shrinking Man or Duel but it is still an enjoyable read.
Richard Matheson is the master of the normal guy suddenly plunged into a terrifying situation thriller and we certainly have that with the main character, husband David who is trying to rekindle his marriage to wife Ellen by revisiting their same original honeymoon destination, Logan Beach. The story isn't as well written as in the above mentioned masterpieces but through David's eyes we do get to experience his changing emotions including everything from lust to fear. Nor are there any twists in Earthbound, pretty much what you think is going on is and what you think is going to happen does.
So the basic plot is a troubled in marriage couple revisit the spot of their honeymoon in the hope of rekindling the flame of their marriage. David is determined to do this however when his wife goes out walking one night and he decides to surprise her with a cosy fire in the living room or their rental property he is surprised when another woman is standing in the doorway. Her name is Marianna and she is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, she tells him she mistook him for a former renter but shows him the renter's paintings, and also a secret room. David knows he shouldn't but has strong lust towards this strange woman and when he has an argument with his wife who goes to sulk in the bedroom and Marianna reappears he doesn't object to sleeping with her in the secret room. The affair continues as David debates if he should be doing it in his mind or leaving the house and returning early with Ellen to their home. David also seems to be losing more energy and becoming very tired all the time. The old lady down the road also tells him something terrifying about his new mistress which surely David thinks can't be true. Can he escape the lure of the earthbound Marianna before its too late?
So although good enough to pass the time I wouldn't buy Earthbound for someone to introduce them to Matheson's work. However if they've read all his classics, it's worth picking up.
