The Fall: Book 2 of the Strain Trilogy by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan is out, but I really want to reread the first one before diving into the second. It kind of makes me want to wait until the third one is out and read all of them at once. Or I should say, listen to them. Ron Perlman narrated the first book and is said to be narrating the second as well. I guess I shall leave a proper review for when I have refreshed my memory. I remember it was slow in places for me, but I hear the second one is a much more intense and a faster read.
All in all, I actually liked The Passage by Justin Cronin better, but that does not diminish my enthusiasm for the Strain Trilogy. Both The Strain and The Passage approach vampirism as a viral menace rather than supernatural in nature.
I am soon to read Let Me In by John Ajvide Lindqvist. I am also soon to read The Chalice, Book One of the Vampire Relics by Tracy A. Evans.
