What is the author's style in What Dreams May Come: A Novel by Richard Matheson?

In What Dreams May Come, language plays a large role in the story. The words used to describe how the spirit departs from the body give a realistic and audible idea of what it might really sound like. Initially Chris's language seems garbled; a little like a stroke victim trying to talk. This reflects the difficulty he has when he first starts dictating his manuscript to the psychic sensitive enough to understand his message. The initial passages are choppy, scattered, and disjointed, giving evidence of Chris's journey through the fatal injuries his body has sustained, and the pain and confusion associated with this experience.
