What was your emotional reaction as you read? Why?   I made the classic mistake reading the book after seeing the movie so my imagination was tainted with preformed images and expectations. But it quickly became evident that the book was going to be different. The book is more chilling than the movie and it pulls you into a post  post apocalyptic-like world. The reader is taken on the same emotional roller coaster as the main character.        Who would you …

As long as you haven't lived under a rock for the past few years, you have probably heard of I Am Legend. The basic story is that nuclear war created a virus that turned people into vampires. One by one, people were dying, until Robert is one of the only humans left. But, the best thing about I Am Legend is that it is full of horror stories written by Matheson, such as Mad House and Dance of the Dead.      Now if you are saying, "I have already seen the movie so I know …

So much more then a vampire book
  Contrary to common belief, I Am Legend is not a vampire novel. What this book is in reality is a series a short horror stories written by Richard Matheson that range from the 160 page long story I Am Legend from which the book gets its name to a three page story called The Near Departed.

A must-read if you enjoyed the movie, although prepare for an entirely different story. Even better than the movie, in my opinion - a narrative of incredible strength.

This collection of stories was my introduction to Matheson and I have been a fan ever since. The tales are gripping and well told. The movie is very loosely based on the story the collection is named for.
