Isolation and a changing world in *I Am Legend*

The collection is anchored by the title story, which places Robert Neville alone amid a vampire pandemic in the ruins of Los Angeles. His effort to understand the illness and seek a cure unfolds alongside a struggle for survival, while the emergence of a new society complicates the boundary between hunter and hunted. The premise brings together monster horror and questions of isolation, survival, and how a community defines what is human. The supplied description does not identify the other stories, so this note focuses on the collection’s named centerpiece.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers of vampire and creature horror.
  • For readers interested in stories about isolation, survival, and changing social orders.

Book overview

From Richard Matheson, author of Hell House, comes I Am Legend And Other Stories, featuring the titular classic tale, a New York Times bestseller and winner of the Vampire Novel of the Century Award.

"The author who influenced me the most as a writer was Richard Matheson. Books like I Am Legend were an inspiration to me." --Stephen King

Robert Neville is the last living man on Earth.

The sole survivor of a vampire pandemic, he spends his days hunting the undead through the ruins of Los Angeles. By night, he is the hunted; the undead are hungry for Neville's blood, and will stop at nothing to get it.

As Robert works to understand the virus and find a cure for the affliction, his days of isolation and fear turn into months, then years. But as a new society spawns from the ashes of Robert's world, he risks becoming the very thing he hunts: a legend.
