A man who needs no introduction to the horror genre, Guillermo del Toro is teaming up with crime author Chuck Hogan to release a trilogy of vampire novels. Yeah novels not movies. The series is called The Strain, in a statement to the AP the director said:

“The idea is epic in scope. The trilogy advances in unexpected ways and each book contains unique and surprising revelations about the history, physiology and lore of the vampiric race, tracing its roots all the way back to its Old Testament origins.”

Sounds pretty interesting and this may help restore some interest in the horror novel world. Would you read a book co-written by Guillermo del Toro?
