Publisher Description

The iconic science fiction vampire novel, adapted into the film starring Will Smith. The last man on earth is not alone . . .

Robert Neville is the last living man on Earth ... but he is not alone. Every other man, woman and child on the planet has become a vampire, and they are hungry for Neville's blood.

By day he is the hunter, stalking the undead through the ruins of civilisation. By night, he barricades himself in his home and prays for the dawn.

How long can one man survive like this?

The SF classic that inspired the blockbuster vampire movie starring Will Smith

Readers can't put down I Am Legend:

'A classic of several genres, sci-fi, horror, vampires, and post-apocalypse. I love the scientific rationalization of the classic vampire lore' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'I certainly understand why Richard Matheson is regarded as a master of the horror genre and why even THE Stephen King looked up to him as an inspiration . . . If you like horror, suspense and the macabre, then my dear reader please give this book a try' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'Less about vampires. More about mental breakdown. An excellent horror story' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'Neville is a very interesting protagonist. You really want to root for him that he will survive. I don't want to spoil you, but the ending will definitely hit you like a one-two punch' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'It's about a man dealing with stress, nightmarish circumstances and his will to not just live, but to survive. Matheson tells a tale of isolation, desperation, perseverance and ultimately, absolution' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

A classic

I first read this book more than 50 years ago and, revisiting it after all this time, I remember what an impact it had. An absolute classic - not a word is wasted and it makes you think about what it is to be human. A must read.

i like the app haha immm ,

the meaning of 'i am legend'

i watched the will smith movie (i really liked. still had a vivid memory of ending). I thought the title comes from the fact that the main guy is the sole survivor of humanity but it is not. the last robert thought 'i am legend' means he became a legend like once dracula and vampire were to humans. he became the minority of this world. he became the thing that must be eradicated. how ironic. it is such a masterpiece. i really liked the description of robert's feelings. i could relate to those so much. anger, numbness, despair...
