As Richard Matheson's third novel, it was first marketed as science fiction (for although written in 1954, the story takes place in a future 1976). A terrible plague has decimated the world, and those who were unfortunate enough to survive have been transformed into blood-thirsty creatures of the night. Except, that is, for Robert Neville. He alone appears to be immune to this disease, but the grim irony is that now he is the outsider. He is the legendary monster who must be destroyed because he is different from everyone else. Employing a stark, almost documentary style, Richard Matheson was one of the first writers to convince us that the undead can lurk in a local supermarket freezer as well as a remote Gothic castle. His influence on a generation of bestselling authors--including Stephen King and Dean Koontz--who first read him in their youth is, well, legendary." --Goodreads 541 1 $a Stinde, Ann; $c Gift; $d 2016. $5 IaU 650 0 $a Vampires $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Plague $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Epidemics $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Science fiction. 650 7 $a Science fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108566 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Vampire fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Horror fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Paranormal fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Dystopian fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Apocalyptic fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Stinde, Ann, $c (Donor) $5 IaU 830 0 $a Berkley medallion book. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317015538.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B1A18548CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
