Negative Positive
Title: Legendary!
Review: I have to confess right away, I have yet to read the other stories in this edition of Matheson's classic. I rushed to finish I AM LEGEND to review it Fri the 13th:). The plot of the title story is deceptively simple. Robert Neville is the last human in a plague struck earth. The rest of the population have become vampires.Matheson writes an incredibly exciting and compelling tale of vampirism. The action is continous throughout the short novel, and he offers alternative theories to the mythology. I still lay awake 48 hours after finishing it that is testament to how spooky the atmosphere permeating this story is, and I am a jaded horror reader. There is little gore in Matheson's horror, but great suspense/paranoia and a chilling climate compelling readers' to turn pages at furious page until the superb ending.This novel is a must read for fans of the Vampire sub-genre horror fiction.
