One of my blog's readers also recommended Chris Adrian's The Children's Hospital as another worthy read in that vein. My wife read Matheson and had some reservations, though - particularly that the version of the book that's currently in circulation (the one with the Will Smith movie tie-in) is actually a collection of stories, only the first of which is actually the I Am Legend story.
