"Chuck Hogan is known for his taut thrillers, Guillermo del Toro for his surreal horror films... The Strain brings out the best of each."
- Minneapolis Star Tribune
An epic battle for survival begins between man and vampire in The Strain -the first book in a heart-stopping trilogy from one of Hollywood's most inventive storytellers and a critically acclaimed thriller writer. Guillermo del Toro, the genius director of the Academy Award-winning Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy , and Hammett Award-winning author Chuck Hogan have joined forces to boldly reinvent the vampire novel. Brilliant, blood-chilling, and unputdownable, The Strain is a nightmare of the first order.
