I Am Legend by Richard Matheson is a classic science fiction/horror novel about the undead. It’s been made into multiple movies and each has changed the premise slightly. There have been hopeful endings, despairing endings and the villains have been changed from vampires to mutants to zombies. But the power of the underlying story has remained. Unlike Interview With a Vampire, this view of the vampire is more dangerous and evil than misunderstood and romantic. So let’s see who the legend is.
