The Strain: Book One of the Strain Trilogy
Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan
 
In search of a thriller? Look no farther than Del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth) and Hogan’s (Prince of Thieves) horror novel about a virus that has infected New York, turning regular everyday people into bloodsucking vampires. These monsters aren’t of the Twilight or True Blood variety either—they really want to kill you! Eventually only a couple of scientists, an old man with a grudge and a young boy remain and are charged with trying to find a way to save the world. This novel packs a powerful punch and will keep you on edge until the very end.
