Reddit mentions of The Strain: Book One of The Strain Trilogy

Some new books that I have enjoyed recently

Guillermo Del Toro - The Strain, part one of three, part two just came out

I also enjoy Brian Keene. He has a kind of Lovecraft mythos throughout his books.

Guillermo del Toro has a series out now, I have read The Strain and The Fall. AMAZING books! Vampires done right! Book 3 just got released, The Night Eternal

I also really liked The Passage

Look on amazon. Their used book sellers sometimes have great prices. I don't really care about the condition of books so I pick a lot of books through them for pennies. The shipping per book is always 3.99. I can usually beat prices found at our Half Price books. Some of them ship really quickly too. You can look to see the location of the seller. Choosing one closer to your own location speeds up shipping too.

Here's one:

Let's be blunt, the pulp put out by WoD does not, in any way, stack up to Stoker's Dracula. I've read 2-3 of their novels and was unimpressed with all of them.

A really good vampire read is The Strain. It's a good spin on vampires that is closer to Stoker's concept than Rice and it's not filled with angst like most vampire novels.
