Thank you, Sirius Scientist. I definitely have to read more Mathesons😊
This is not the last review on earth by Apatt, for this story!
;)
Why do you say "In both the Omega Man and the Will Smith movies the vampires are replaced entirely"?
It's arguable in Smith's, but unless I'm horrendously misremembering the film, they're still very much vampires in Omega Man.

They are not just light-sensitive goth hipsters selling Swiss luxury watches? My bad!
The light-sensitive goth hipsters are the "new breed", but I remember the ones that Neville spends the whole film killing being very much like Matheson's vampires.

Now I remember Heston's iconic line from this movie "Get your hands off me you dirty goths! "
All of Heston's lines are iconic. They were written in hieroglyphs, ever since "The Ten Commandments".
It's an excellent novella, I agree. One of my favourites.
And yes, the Will Smith film is a disappointment. It could have been good, but to take the meaning of the book and its ending, and then just reverse them comletely, undermines the original work.
I was never able to understand the conclusion, though: why did he have to antagonize the new, rising civilization? They weren't worse than mankind
