This is a "last man in the world" story published in 1954, and it holds up very well. It cleverly combines a vampires-take-over-the-world plot line with post-World War II fears of an all-out nuclear holocaust. Also there are creepy dust storms and lots of bugs. The ending manages to be a genuine sur...
Robertson Dean has a creepy voice. It is a bit like Jack Nicholson in The Shining, waffling between anger and despair. When he yells or raves, it is exceedingly uncomfortable, but therein lies the point. Robert Neville is a man on the edge, walking a fine line between insanity, despair, and hope. Mr...
I never watched the movie to the end because those zombie/vampire-movies are too disturbing for me (no joke). Especially the scenario in this book: a man, totally alone, in the night the vampires gather around his house. How does he manage to not go loopy? And are there other people alive somewhere?...
"I dub thee vampiris."This has got to be one of the most depressing books I've ever read. Even though I more or less knew what was about to happen in the end, it was still intense and mind-blowing. I Am Legend is an amazingly well written dark and painful story about loneliness, about being the last...
This is one of the most heartbreaking and beautifully written stories that have ever been written.

It is not a horror-story in the traditional sense, it is also not a vampire story ...
It is amazing to read this novel, plus ten stories, and realize just how much Matheson wrote for Hollywood. This is the first time I've read I am Legend, and I really understood why Charlton Heston was cast as Neville in The Omega Man. He really captured Neville's tortured psyche and sense of surv...
this is the story about Robert Neville "the last man on earth".richard matheson has done a good justice in depicting his feelings as he goes on his daily routine which is killing vampires , making his home safe and finding as much about the virus he can.i even wondered somewhere in between that thi...
Considering its extremely simple basic-context, I Am Legend manages to achieve an incredible level of entertainment, offers a wonderfully psychological characterization - and deals a bit with the value of the human race. Quite impressive for a vampire novel.Featured in my Top 7 Apocalyptic/Post-apoc...
There are some excellent reviews out there. I know I was complaining about sqeeing and gifs recently, but I can't help but think a classic book like this could use a little modern reviewing. Summary: I'm a little mixed in my reading reactions to a novella that feels more like a self-conscious alle...
