I Am Legend and Other Stories

A collection by Richard Matheson that pairs his 1954 novel I Am Legend with a selection of his short stories. In the title novel, Robert Neville believes he is the last man alive after a plague turns everyone else into vampires. By day he hunts the creatures in the empty city; by night he locks himself inside his barricaded house and waits for the sun to rise. The other stories show the same chilling, paranoid streak.
