The Strain: Book One of the Strain Trilogy by Guillermo del Toro, Chuck Hogan

5.0

Re-read 2023: this was like a warm hug re-reading this book. From the first page onwards this is a page turner, keeping you just on the edge of your seat. The characters are few and well fleshed out, you want to see what they’ll do next. The vampires and Master are a surreal creation of movie myth and old folk law mixed with modern biology. Gripping. Can’t wait to read the next instalment.
