Thanks for seeking out this unofficial home to Richard Matheson's classic novel.
For more frequent updates, I encourage you to check out my I Am Legend Archive Blog. I have also set up an I Am Legend group on Facebook which I invite you to join.
Today I've added our interview with Paul Koslo from 2001 - the companion piece to our Charlton Heston interview. I hope you enjoy it.
Our friends at Gauntlet Press keep the Matheson fires burning with Visions Deferred - a trade paperback collection that reprints Matheson's previously unpublished original screenplay for the book (which was censored by the Censor Board). It's got a beautiful cover illustration by Harry O. Morris and his wife Christine that was inspired by Stanley Meltzoff's cover painting from the original Gold Medal paperback.
Please check out my most WANTED list if you can help me fill the remaining holes in the archive! My wife and I have been making progress with several new international editions, but can very likel.y still use your help!
This site originally started as a section on my home page, The Last Site on Earth, and has deserved it's own space for some time. I hope for this site to become the place for all things I AM LEGEND, and can only do it with your help. Feel free to look around, make suggestions, and bookmark the site. There's a whole lot more to come.
Thanks for stopping by,
John Scoleri

P.S. In 1967 Mario Gomez Martín shot a 15 minute test short of I AM LEGEND (Soy Leyenda) for the Official School of Cinema in Spain. Here's the most detailed information I've been able to find online. As recently as 2003 it played in a film festival. I also found a brief synopsis online which I've translated to:
IN THE YEAR 2000 BACTERIOLOGICAL WARS HAVE LEFT ONE HUMAN ALIVE AND A NEW SOCIETY OF VAMPIRES HAS FORMED.
Wow. If you have ANY information on this rarity, please contact me!
