Earthbound is a 1982 novel by Richard Matheson, originally published under the pen name Logan Swanson. Matheson removed his name from the original publication by Playboy Press as a result of the publishers' severe editing of the manuscript. It was later reprinted under Matheson's name in the United Kingdom in 1989. In 2005, the novel was reprinted in its entirety and released in the United States for the first time by Tor Books.
