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

Synopsis:

Robert Neville may well be the last living man on Earth . . . but he is not alone.

 

An incurable plague has mutated every other man, woman, and child into bloodthirsty, nocturnal creatures who are determined to destroy him.
 
By day, he is a hunter, stalking the infected monstrosities through the abandoned ruins of civilization. By night, he barricades himself in his home and prays for dawn....
 
Richard Matheson's classic novel has now been transformed by Warner Bros. into a major motion picture starring Academy Award nominee Will Smith. Directed by Francis Lawrence ("Constantine"), the film opens nationwide in December 2007.

Kirsten, August 18, 2006 (view all comments by Kirsten)
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.
