content: upside: i usually dont go for the supernatural/horror genre, but this book hooked me. i was studying at borders and someone left this book at the table i was sitting at. read the back cover and the rest is history. im a sucker for these "survival" stories, man vs _________________. in this case, its vampires and matheson breaks it down to a science.downside: theres a collection of short stories written by matheson that disappoints following the conclusion of this book. after enjoying "i am legend" so much, it was such a letdown.highly recommended to all.
