Didn’t I just post something about Guillermo del Toro? This time the director has inked a publishing deal with HarperCollins imprint William Morrow to pen a trilogy of vampire thrillers with Chuck Hogan.
First book, “The Strain,” hits bookstores next summer. Go, del Toro Go!
The story focuses on an invasion of New York City by a vampire virus. Series will trace the roots of the vampire race back to its Old Testament origins.
The books will be published by HarperCollins in the U.K., and a special edition will be published simultaneously in a Spanish-language for the U.S.
Hogan has penned the thrillers “The Standoff,” “The Blood Artists” and “The Killing Moon.” Warner Bros. recently picked up his book “Prince of Thieves” for Ben Affleck to helm and star.
