Both books, to my surprise, were very much about the protagonists emotional and pyschological difficulties coping with the bizarre situations they were in. Like how a man copes as he becomes smaller than his wife, then smaller than his children...

Recommended.
While looking for The Shrinking Man at Amazon, I found this:

Richard Matheson’s The Shrinking Man Comes To Life At IDW This July

Quote:
IDW Publishing is proud to announce the comic-book adaption of the late Richard Matheson’s seminal science fiction novel, The Shrinking Man. Ted Adams, IDW’s CEO & Publisher, is adapting the material, alongside artist Mark Torres.
Looks interesting.
