Calling yourself a legend is one thing and proving yourself a legend is completely another thing. In order to prove that you are a legend you should sacrifice your every breath for others who are in trouble in front of you. Richard Matheson tells us the story of such a man who was given a chance by the heavens to prove himself and he left no stone unturned to prove that he really cared for humanity.
It’s Robert Neville we are talking about i.e a man who was not affected by the deadly virus which hit the earth and turned people into vampires or zombies. Humanity has vanished from the face of the earth and only Neville can now save mankind but first he has to save himself from the zombies that are coming for him. During the day the man is free to roam the streets because the humans turned into vampires cannot come out in the light.
Then at night as they come for his blood from all sides he can do nothing except to hide himself in a safe shelter. Robertson Dean was given a task of a lifetime to narrate the character of a man, who is first lonely, then he becomes afraid and in the end he emerges as a warrior.
Hell House was scary but this one is one step ahead in terrifying the audience also A Stir of Echoes told us an awesome story but this one is ten times ahead of it. An outclassed book by Matheson that has been transformed into a movie as well is a must listen thing for the lovers of classics.
