Richard Matheson’s “I Am Legend”

I Am Legend is a nightmarish vision of a post-apocalyptic world—I could not put this book down. Robert Neville appears to be the only survivor of a plague—but he is not alone. The plague has turned every other man, woman and child into vampires–or has it? Robert’s tenuous survival makes this book a page-turner—but this book also raises serious questions—is survival without any kind of companionship enough?—what is normal?

I haven’t seen the recent movie version yet but hope to soon!
