Product Description
Stories include... I Am Legend  Buried Talents  The Near Departed  Prey  Witch War  Dance of the Dead  Dress of White Silk  Mad House  The Funeral  From Shadowed Places  Person to Person *** Robert Neville is the last surviving human on earth, but he is not alone. An apocalyptic plague has infected every man, woman and child, changing them into blood-crazed, rampaging vampiresand they're all out for his blood. A hunter by day, he hides away in his house at night, determined to survive their attacks. But a new strain of vampire is evolving, committed to creating a new world, and to them, Neville is every bit as frightening as they are to him. Inspired by Dracula, Matheson turned the traditional vampire legend on its head, attempting to explain undead phenomena by scientific means, and making I Am Legend a moving treatise on loneliness and conformity. *** Physicist Lionel Barrett and Edith, his loyal but repressed wife. Beautiful Spiritualist Florence Tanner. Cynical psychic Ben Fischer. Hired by a dying magnate to determine if life survives death, they must spend one week in the notorious Hell House. Boarded up for thirty years, the old Belasco mansion witnessed scenes of almost unimaginable horror and depravity. Two previous attempts to exorcise the house ended in disaster. Battling inner demons of their own, Barrett and his companions each have secret reasons for daring the house, and each refuses to leave until its mystery is solved. But can any soul survive the torments and temptations within the most haunted house on Earth? Also contains 10 short stories, including Prey, basis of the film short, Amelia, in the TV movie Trilogy of Terror. Softcover. (301 pp.) 1951-1989.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down, October 21, 2008
By N. Perz (St. Louis) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I don't normally read this genre but, once I started, I couldn't put it down. This volume contains two novellas: "I Am Legend" and "Hell House" with some short stories stuck in between. Very good.

Note: the recent film adaptation, "I Am Legend" was borderline lame. Watch the original film version, "Omega Man" instead.

Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!!!!!!!!!, January 8, 2009
Richard Matheson is one of the greatest writers ever. Every single story in this book is haunting. "I am legend" is a terrific view into a post-apocalyptic survivors life from day to day and his struggles to survive and find companionship. "Hell House" is one of the best haunted house stories that will have you turning pages long into the night. Mathenson is wonderful!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Am Legend-Hell House
Fast paced. I couldn't put I Am Legend down. Hell House is my favorite haunted house story. It is not appropriate for young adults, or children. Read more
