I Am Legend

by Richard Matheson

I Am Legend Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Robert Neville is the last living man on Earth...but he is not alone. Every other man, woman, and child on Earth has become a vampire, and they are all hungry for Neville's blood.

By day, he is the hunter, stalking the sleeping undead through the abandoned ruins of civilization. By night, he barricades himself in his home and prays for dawn.

How long can one man survive in a world of vampires?

Review:

"The most clever and riveting vampire novel since Dracula." Dean Koontz

Review:

"I think the author who influence me the most as a writer was Richard Matheson. Books like I Am Legend were an inspiration to me." Stephen King

This volume is actually comprised of Matheson's short novel I am Legend, as well as several of his short stories. I would actually probably give I am Legend 4.5 or even 5 stars, but the short stories were less inspiring.
