I Am Legend: The Best of the SF Masterworks

English

By (author): Richard Matheson

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?

Winner of the Bram Stoker Prize for Vampire Novel of the Century, I Am Legend is a stunning blend of science fiction and horror.

'The most clever and riveting vampire novel since Dracula' - Dean Koontz
'Books like I Am Legend were an inspiration to me' - Stephen King
'It is, by turns, scary, thrilling, tragic, witty and - ultimately - uplifting' - James Lovegrove
