ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Strain," by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan, is a modern vampire story that blends horror, thriller, and science fiction elements. The narrative centers on an ancient evil unleashed upon contemporary New York City, transforming its inhabitants into monstrous creatures. The story follows C.D.C. epidemiologist Dr. Ephraim Goodweather as he investigates a mysterious plane crash and uncovers a terrifying vampire plague spreading rapidly through the city. The narrative balances scientific investigation with ancient lore, as Setrakian's knowledge of vampire history proves vital in combating the creatures. The book explores themes of disease, contagion, and the breakdown of society in the face of an overwhelming threat.
