What they want is his blood, which is in short supply now that the world is consumed by bloodsuckers. The women pull up their dresses to show him what he is missing and the men call him names and throw rocks. Sometimes the same ones come and sometimes new lunatics show up. These psychos come every night and wait just outside his small home and try to entice him to come out. The story is about the last “normal” human in a world full of night-roving lunatics out to kill him. I didn’t finish all the additional short stories but I am Legend is a quick read and contains no filler. These seem unrelated but add to the total page count for the book so I guess that was a marketing thing or something. It is really short and after the I am Legend story there are a bunch of really short stories. I read this book a while back but that was before I was writing book reviews and when I saw it on the shelf I thought that it should be included in my list of book reviews so I read it again. ![]()
