I Am Legend by Richard Matheson - BBC Radio - SeymourDAC torrent

I Am Legend by Richard Matheson.

An abridged reading performed by Angus McInnes. Nine half-hour episodes.

Robert Neville is apparently the only survivor of an apocalypse caused by a pandemic of bacteria, the symptoms of which are very similar to vampirism. Every day he makes repairs to his house, boarding up windows, stringing and hanging garlic, disposing of vampires' corpses on his lawn and going out to gather any additional supplies needed for hunting and killing more vampires.

The 1954 novel has had a profound effect on the horror and science fiction genres. For instance, it is one of the first stories to try to explain vampirism scientifically. It also served as the inspiration for many other writers. Notable examples would be screenwriter and director George Romero who used the novel as inspiration for his film Night of the Living Dead, and Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later.

It has been filmed four times, as The Last Man on Earth (1964), The Omega Man (1971), I Am Omega (2007) and I Am Legend (2007).
