In Matheson's vampire classic I Am Legend, a plague has decimated the world and transformed the unfortunate survivors into bloodthirsty creatures of the night. Robert Neville is the last living man on Earth. Every other man, woman, and child has become a vampire hungry for Neville's blood. By day he is the hunter, stalking the sleeping undead through the abandoned ruins of civilization. By night he barricades himself in his home and prays for the dawn. How long can one man survive in a world of vampires?

This recording also includes a sampling of other horror stories by Richard Matheson, some comic, all scary: "Buried Talents", "The Near Departed", "Prey", "Witch War", "Dance of the Dead", "Dress of White Silk", "Mad House", "The Funeral", "From Shadowed Places", and "Person to Person".

Most of the stories are great, some are just meh. My real problem with this book is the narration. The first part "I am Legend" is done very well. The rest of the book is done by someone else, and the voice is just boring. No inflection, no interest, just reading the stories. There is not even any break between stories, so sometimes you find yourself wondering if it's a new story or still the previous one. Worth getting, but be prepared to struggle listening to the short stories.

Should be two books

Every character voice sounds like an old fat alcoholic woman with a lifetime 2 pack per day smoking habit. Which is unfortunate because his normal reading voice is perfectly fine.

Ugggg narrator voices

As others have already stated this book (I Am Legend) is fantastic. It truly is classic and I highly recommend listening here because the narration is superb. However, stop the book after I Am Legend lest your ears be burned by the remaining short stories tacked onto this story.

when I say great story I mean the main story for what the book is meant to be about it's unfortunately short the rest of the book are multiple short stories that are not the best not bad but not as good as the main story

Great Story

I am legend is absolutely phenomenal. This is one of the absolute best post apocalyptic stories I've ever read, and I've read many. The writing style and the character building is astounding, the atmosphere is breathtaking, and while the story is clearly fantastic, you just buy it, you know?
My only complaint about this book is the choice to combine this masterpiece with other stories. Most of them were good, but after the first story I barely managed to pay attention. This deserves it's own book, to finish in one breath and let it stay with you for days.
If you like post apocalyptic horror and dystopian novels, RUN to get this book.
Also, I have listened to this gem on audible. The narration is amazing and adds so much to it. Just wow.

amazing

second story really keeps you going. the main story quite different from the movie. I would like to see what else he has written

second story great

I am Legend is a great story about character study. I own the book itself and decided to listen to it just to see if it would improve the experience, overall I l loved it all the same, the narrator did an amazing job. However the other short stories are hit or miss. They are much more engaging when you read them yourself, instead of listening to them. This is mostly due to the narrator, he could have done a better job in my opinion.

I Am Legend is my favorite modern vampire Novel

I didn't realize this book was written in 1954. The book is far different from the movie adaptation. I went in with an open mind and loved the book. The actor who read the book did a great job. I was surprised after listening to the main story and realizing this is the author behind Trilogy of Terror!

A Different Take
