    I Am Legend - Folio Society

    Just ordered I Am Legend, by Richard Matheson. Looks like a nice edition with slipcase.

    Introduced by Joe Hill

    Illustrated by Dave McKean

    I Am Legend, Richard Matheson’s brutal tale of survival and vampires, arrives in a spectacular Folio edition – illustrated by artist Dave McKean and introduced by a modern master of horror, Joe Hill.

      The signed Limited Edition was sold out. I just got the Collector's Edition, and a lot cheaper.

        I ordered my copy of the CE last week and there were plenty of limiteds then. Not being a fan of the author; I just wanted the Hill introduction. The limited was really pricy.

          I might have to consider picking this up. That's quite a trifecta, McKean, Hill and most importantly Matheson. It's not my favourite of Matheson's novels, but it's most likely his most influential.

              WOW. Both editions look fantastic. Love McKean's work. I really didn't need to see this.

                Their edition of The Shining was nicely done as well. Let's hope there won't be the ding problem with this edition.

                  I AM LEGEND is one of my favorite books of all time, and I’m thrilled that it remains in print like this.

                    I saw this last week, I think and the limited editions were still available. Though I really liked the look of the limited, $395 was a little too steep for me. I love I AM LEGEND and Matheson in general, so I will continue my search for a reasonably priced copy of either the limited of LEGEND or the lettered of BLOODLINES from Gauntlet. I want that Matheson signature, darn it.

                    In a slightly related topic, this thread prompted me to do a routine search for Matheson books and I stumbled on a fairly decent-priced copy of HELL HOUSE and now I'm on the fence. Budgetary restraints would say I hold off, but...

                      Matheson is hit and miss for and sorry to say I Am Legend was a clear miss for me. I am somewhat in Mr. Hill's introduction but am passing on the book.

                        I've never read anything by him but have I Am Legend in my TBLT pile.

                          In my opinion Matheson is great. He is up there with Bradbury, Nolan, Bloch, and Grant as a true legend. One of the best short story writers of all time.

                            +1 on that.

                            And don’t forget Charles Beaumont in that list!

                              I completely agree with your assessment on Matheson but I am Legend did not work for me. I also concur with Mr. Clinton that Charles Beaumont is right up there with the legends mentioned.
