This is one of the classics of vampire literature. A plague that has turned humans into vampires has swept the world. But one man, Robert Neville, survives. Every night he barricades himself inside his house prepared for the vampire attack, and by day he stakes as many of these undead as he can find. This story inspired George Romero's horror film, ''Night of the Living Dead.'' |
