Created By (1993) is Richard Christian Matheson’s only novel, and it draws directly on his experience working in Hollywood. The book uses the television industry as both setting and source of horror, exploring the psychological toll of creative work in an environment driven by ego, competition, and corporate power.
The novel stands apart from Matheson’s short fiction in both length and approach, giving him room to develop character and atmosphere at a pace his characteristically brief stories don’t allow. It remains his most sustained narrative work and a notable entry in the subgenre of entertainment industry horror.
