THE STRAIN is by far one of the best vampire novels I’ve ever read. It starts with infected passengers on a dark airplane and just gets scarier and scarier. I don’t know how Del Toro and Hogan pulled this off, but their writing is seamless, as if this book were written by one great author. The action and suspense are tautly written. The prose is some of the best I’ve read. I often re-read passages because they were written so eloquently. The story moves along at a break-neck pace. Every character, including the supporting ones, were fleshed out with facinating details and back story that made this book fun on many levels. And the weaving of the fairy tale with the modern-day horror was done with great effect. I still get chillls thinking about how much I enjoyed this book.
