Annotation
A science fiction novel about vampires...

Publisher Description
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 all 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 like this?

The Nile Staff Review
I make no secret of my general disdain for vampires. However, I did get a chance to spend some time with this novel - and I can tell you that I'm very glad I did. Gritty, dark and intensely realistic - I Am Legend truly deserves it's standing as a SF Masterwork. And for those of you rolling your eyes, I can assure you it's absolutely nothing like that perversion of a movie Hollywood churned out a few years back. 4/5
