I Am Legend is a 1954 post-apocalyptic horror novel by American writer Richard Matheson that was influential in the modern development of zombie and vampire literature and in popularizing the concept of a worldwide apocalypse due to disease. The novel was a success and was adapted into the films The Last Man on Earth (1964), The Omega Man (1971), and I Am Legend (2007). It was also an inspiration behind Night of the Living Dead (1968).

Way better than expected

A lesson not to judge a book by its film adaptation.

This was a quick read - a story of the last person in a world of "vampires". A compelling picture of psychology and discussion of what it even means to be human. Some stream of consciousness writing really connects you to the main character.

I loved the ending.
