Title: Epic Horror
Review: It inspired NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. It changed the way we see vampires (no longer counts in castles), and practically invented zombies (no longer voodoo victims). It even made a young Stephen King pick up a pencil and begin scrawling out horror stories.I AM LEGEND is without a doubt one of the most powerful, influential and important horror tales ever woven. Like Stoker, Poe, Bierce, Shelley, Lovecraft and Stevenson, Matheson's work is mandatory reading for any true fan of dark literature. No movie could ever (despite two attempts so far) capture the brillant terror of this book, and no other books by Matheson, although all of them are excellent (Hell House, 7 Steps to Midnight, ect.), are as good as this one. It is more then worth the money, for it is a book you will read more then twice!If you enjoy King, Clive Barker, Poppy Z. Brite, William Peter Blatty or Ramsey Campbell, you will shriek for Matheson,... and vice versa.
