Todd,
You're talking about "The Distributor"? That was indeed a
great read. It was the first Matheson piece I've ever read
and was quite a deliciously wicked tale. Unlike "I am
Legend," whose strength, at least for me, relies on how he
tries to come up with explanations for vampirism, "The
Distributor" is left rather enigmatic. These two, along with
his boy-obsessed-with-Dracula short story "Drink my Blood"
and "The Holiday Man," are what I've read so far from his
writings, but they've all been quite satisfying, especially
how he ends them.
