Vampires of I Am Legend (novel)
Matheson's novel calls its monsters vampires, but its plague-created undead swarming each night helped establish zombie fiction as well as modern vampire fiction. It gave the undead a medical cause, a bacterium, instead of a supernatural one. Romero said openly that Night of the Living Dead borrowed heavily from it.1

سرچینې څه وايي
Two kinds exist: the risen dead, who have lost their reason, and the living-infected, who stay conscious1
Bullets fail because the bacteria seal wounds; a stake lets air in and the body liquefies1
The living-infected develop drugs to manage the disease and build a new society1
George Romero acknowledged borrowing heavily from it for Night of the Living Dead1
