I Am Legend


I am reading "I am Legend" by Richard Matheson right now.

Anyone else read this?

He's the guy who did Stir of Echos, What Dreams May Come, some Twilight Zone scripts.

Pretty good & interesting read so far.

IMO, one of the best vampire novels ever written. I love the educated and scientific explanations they give of vampire mythology. The isolated, post-apocalyptic feel for the novel is a nice touch as well. The first-person perspective really helps. Just wait till you get to the ending . . .

They adapted to a movie in crap-Hollywood form with "The Omega Man" (Charlton Heston, I think) and now there's talk of another adaption. Ah-nuld wanted to do it for a long time and now Will Smith and Michael Bay are talking about doing it. Ugh.

I thought it was good in the scientific aspect of vampirism. However, I was disappointed in the "vampires" themselves. They were more of a zombie than a true vampire.

Good read though.

That is such a great novella - I loved the story. It's my favorite one regarding Vampires.

This is also the only Richard Matheson book that I've read too.

Schwarzenegger has been trying to get a film version of this made for a while now. The script is floating around on the net, and is actually pretty good.
