Wow. I am now required to read "The Distributor" by my incomplete.

Nice job Mr. F. Paul Wilson.

huh?
what is this "distributor" you talk about and where do you get it?

"The Distributor" is a short story by Richard Matheson and was the inspiration for "Recalled". You could say that "Recalled" is a sequel to "The Distributor" that takes place 50 years or so afterwards. It may also have been the inspiration for Stephen King's Needful Things.
