This is the most notable vampire book that I own. And I own quite a few vampire books. "I Am Legend" is THE book about the end of the world. Richard Matheson is a wonderful writer and though the book is very short, he fills it with dread that you just cannot believe. You are sucked into the lonliness that Robert Neville (Hope you guessed my name) feels everyday as the last man on earth. A great commentary on the 50's too. Matheson hits the stake with the hammer on this one. Get a copy today.
