The vampire as an outbreak story has been done before but
not through the mind of Guillermo del Toro. Dr. Ephraim "Eph"
Goodweather, a CDC advisor, inspects an airline jet that arrived at John F.
Kennedy International airport with almost everyone dead. But as he starts to
uncover the truth, an old vampire is coming to take New York, it maybe too
late. Chuck Hogan co-writes what is really a fun and exciting vampire horror
novel. And that’s what I really like about this book: it’s actually kind of
intense and scary. It has a tragic feeling about it too, as civilization
unknowingly begins its collapse. It’s the first part of a trilogy and I’m
looking forward to reading the next book. In the meantime, a television series
is airing based on it and you can sense the Toro-inspired creature designs will
be gruesome. Grade: B+
