Teaser Trailer for Del Toro's Novel The Strain

Guillermo del Toro's new novel The Strain, book one of a trilogy, is due out on June 2 and you better bet I've got it on pre-order.

Del Toro tells Wired, ""I'm not good at forensic novels. I'm not good at hazmat language and that CSI-style precision. When [Bram] Stoker wrote Dracula, it was very modern, a CSI sort of novel. I wanted to give The Strain a procedural feel, where everything seems real."

Del Toro writes new Vampire book

Guillermo Del Toro isn't busy enough directing Lovely Bones and starting production on The Hobbit, not to mention producing other movies. He's now authored a new vampire novel due out June 2 called The Strain which is the first in a trilogy co-authored with Chuck Hogan. The above is an interview to promote the book and the new series.

Twilight this ain't, as it sounds like it will be a true horror book. With his genius creative imagination, I can only begin to imagine how great it will be. Will we get some illustrations from his famous notebooks, I wonder?
