If classic is listed on the main page as a genre it's fair game.
Yea for more pages! Thanks Jack! Almost to 150,000!

I forgot to comment after I finished! It’s been a few weeks now. I liked the scientific way he goes about testing the vampires so he can find better ways to survive. I really wanted to dog to hang around! That bummed me out quite a bit. I thought it was interesting the weird relationship he had with his ex-coworker. How he would hunt him in the day and the co-worker would come taunt him in the night and how sad it was when the new vamp society show up at the end.
The version I read had other stories as well, and I did not like them as much. There were some racist overtones that made me cringe. I am legend was definitely the best story in the book.
I LOVE the prequel books that his son wrote with Kevin J Anderson too.
I recently reread these. I am happy to discuss the book with you as you read. I love these books!

I started this today. I am loving it so far. It also makes me want to revisit some Lovecraft! I might have to do that next.
