Matheson, Richard.
I Am Legend.
Tor. 2007. 312p.
ISBN 978-0-7653-5715-1. pap. $7.99. HORROR
To horror/sf aficionados, Matheson himself is a legend. To non-fans, if you have a favorite Twilight Zone episode, chances are Matheson wrote it. First released in 1954, I Am Legend tells the story of Robert Neville, the seemingly last living person on earth, although not the only person inhabiting the planet—the rest have been turned into vampires through a mysterious plague that decimates the world's population. Neville must try to survive both the monsters trying to drain him and his own depression and loneliness. The story has been adapted for film three times, beginning in 1964 with Vincent Price as The Last Man on Earth, and again in 1971 as the Charlton Heston vehicle The Omega Man. An updated film version that moves
the action from Los Angeles to New York City is being released December 14 under its original title with Will Smith in the lead, which should generate fresh demand for the original source material. Along with the title story, this edition includes ten other Matheson shorts. Not just a cheap film tie-in, this is a solid collection of horror/sf stories from one of the modern masters.
