The streets are silent. The world as you knew it is gone. And when night falls, they come.

The unforgettable film adaptation introduced I Am Legend to a new audience, but Richard Matheson’s novel is something else entirely – an exploration of isolation, fear and what it truly means to be human. This is a story that lingers long after the last page. And the final line? It will stay with you forever.

This Folio immerses you in Neville’s terrifying world – with eerie illustrations by Dave McKean, as haunting as the story itself and an introduction by modern master of horror Joe Hill.
