Review of 'The strain' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Neat! Vampire-ism is caused by a transmittable parasite, and is spreading through New York City. This novel covers the first four days of the epidemic, and was entertaining enough. I just might pick up the next installments of the series.

Del Toro did some interesting imagineering on vampire biology by the way. Never seen (or, read about) a vampire quite like the ones he describes.
