In a world where romantic and suave vampires are the norm, it is quite refreshing (from a horror blogger's point of view anyway) to come across a book that features terrifying and ruthless undead. Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan promise to deliver that with their novel The Strain.
A mix between CSI and Dracula, The Strain is shaping up to be a great read. It has mystery, a compelling protagonist, and a slew of horrible blood thirsty monsters marauding New York City. Expect a review soon, and until then, watch these great videos, including two book trailers!
A word of caution: Some of the movies have a bit of strong language.
Del Toro is funny; I love the contempt he manages to convey when he says he'll have none of the languid vampires supping on the neck of beautiful people. He's right. What's so scary about that?
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly! It is tough to find evil vampires nowadays...
