Review

It's a nightmarish vision of the future, told with such graphic detail that it
seems all too possible. Matheson's command of narrative delivers a riveting,
exciting story every time. That power is never more evident than between the
covers of I Am Legend. If ever a book was made to read in one sitting, this
complex horror novel is it. Before you read yet another gothic vampire novel, read
the story that's different. You may forget the details of the other books, but this
one will stay with you. And get that grey matter working. - Goodreads
