The first story, I am Legend, is excellent. Don't expect it to be like any of the movies based on it though. (yes there are similarities.) The other short stories are all equally interesting. I especially like the really short ones, as he tells the story very concisely, distilling his ideas to the most pure thoughts. I can see his influence in Stephen King's works.
