The title novel, I Am Legend, is great; I would easily give it four stars, and perhaps even five. I found the short stories appended to the novel to run the spectrum between decent and terrible. They get better as they go. A few rely on complete sexism to invoke any feeling or horror ("Witch War") and some are so concerned with Hemingway-like objectivity that they are honestly inexplicable ("Buried Talents"). The last three or four stories are good, though I personally am led to believe Matheson was a master of novel writing, and not so much at short story writing.
