![]() ![]() Robert Neville, while not without flaws, is easy to understand. There is a particular horror in this tale of a lone man, fighting for survival every day and every night. While a very slim one, this novel managed to grab my attention on the first page and didn’t let go until I turned the last. Here’s some more praise for the SF Masterworks series. At night, he becomes the hunted and barricades himself in his home, waiting and praying for the dawn. Neville spends his days scavenging for food and supplies, and hunting down the undead in their lairs in the ruins of civilisation. Every other man, woman and child on the planet has become a vampire. Robert Neville is the last man left alive on Earth…but he is not alone. ![]() And what better than a book about the – probably – last living man on Earth fighting off hordes of vampires every night?įirst sentence: On those cloudy days, Robert Neville was never sure when sunset came, and sometimes they were in the streets before he could get back. Jemisin read (even after a quarter of the book) so I thought I’d read something short in between to get me back in the mood. I’m not really warming up to my current N.K. ![]()
