I Am Legend by Richard Matheson Book Summary

Winner of the Bram Stoker Lifetime Achievement Award for best vampire novel of the century: the genre-defining classic of horror sci-fi that inspired three films.
 
The population of the entire world has been obliterated by a pandemic of vampire bacteria. Yet somehow, Robert Neville survived. He must now struggle to make sense of what happened and learn to protect himself against the vampires who hunt him nightly.
 
As months of scavenging and hiding turn to years marked by depression and alcoholism, Robert spends his days hunting his tormentors and researching the cause of their affliction. But the more he discovers about the vampires around him, the more he sees the unsettling truth of who is—and who is not—a monster.
 
Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend has been a major influence on horror literature. In 2012, it was named the best vampire novel of the century by the Horror Writers Association and the Bram Stoker Estate. The novel was adapted to film in 1964 as The Last Man on Earth, in 1971 as Omega Man, and in 2007 as I am Legend, starring Will Smith.

Classic cult favorite. I read this many years ago and just reread it and it still gives me chills. Matheson wrote many great horror stories, there are several collected works of his short stories and novels worth looking into if you’re a horror fan.

Movie better than book. Read this because of the movie and the sequel using this alternate ending. Very disappointed. Really glad the screenwriters chose to go a different route. This is one instance where the movie is better than the book.

Great Survival Story. Very cool survival story with a horror setting and a great ending! This is much better than the movie!

$$$. Lil piss would not approve of this price!

No. Too expensive buy paperback 😉

Yes. ;-;

Love it!. I had to forget about the movie altogether and read from the beginning like it was a totally different story. I saw the movie years ago and glad I did. I would have been so disappointed in the adaptation. Since I’ve read it now, I see it as an unrelated story and unique in itself. Loved it!

Boring.... Most of the book is a lonely alcoholic rambling about his wife and struggling with his sex drive that is SO strong he reaches a point where he’s literally attracted to and fantasizing about the dead vampire women he finds rotting in the streets. The author also spends a lot of time trying really hard to scientifically explain what vampires “really” are instead of just telling a good story. I don’t care about the scientific explanation of why garlic repels vampires—I care about the supposed last man on earth doing more than drinking, fantasizing about sex with vampire zombies, or staring into a microscope. The writing is mediocre. The main character is dull. And the story drags on for pages, which is saying a lot because it’s a short story. I should’ve just watched the movie again because it actually did something this author clearly has no idea how to do—it made sense. And it entertained me. I want my money back.

Unique, Interesting. Very unique, Robert Neville is definitely and interesting man, good book
