One of the big names in SF\/Horror in the 1950's was Richard Matheson. Matheson was pretty clearly a pulp era writer, but he was a bright light of that time. Without Matheson we would likely not have Stephen King, as Matheson not only heavily influenced King's style, but provided him with the genesis for a few of his more important tales. I am Legend is a 1950's vampire tale that takes place in South Central Los Angeles. Four out of five stars. <\/p>\n
