"I Am Legend and Other Stories" is a collection of science fiction and horror tales by Richard Matheson, showcasing his influential style. The titular story, "I Am Legend," explores the life of Robert Neville, the last human in a world overrun by vampires.

Each story presents unique scenarios, often blurring the lines between reality and the supernatural, which adds depth to his commentary on human nature and societal issues.
