Born of Man and Woman is the first collection of science fiction and fantasy stories by Richard Matheson, published in hardcover by Chamberlain Press in 1954. It includes an introduction by Robert Bloch. A truncated edition, dropping four stories, was published by Bantam Books in 1955 as Third from the Sun.

"F---" was originally published as "The Foodlegger".[1]

Reception

New York Times reviewer J. Francis McComas characterized Matheson as "an established producer of the violently disturbing" and described the "scintillating" collection as "a stimulating look at a genuine artist at work."[2] P. Schuyler Miller, noting that all the stories had been relatively recently published, praised Matheson as "one of the best of the newer writers."[3]
