The Fall season may not officially begin until 11:09 PM ET / 8:09 PM PT tonight but The Fall, book 2 of The Strain Trilogy written by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan arrived promptly at midnight September 21 in digital form on my Kindle 3:
As you may recall, I fell in crazy love last Summer (2009, that is) with The Strain by Del Toro and Hogan and have been ANXIOUSLY awaiting the second book in the series. Now, because I’m still in the middle of reading the very long yet amazingly good Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley, I cannot devote my full attention to The Fall … but I did read a few of the first pages and MAN, am I excited to just dive into this book. For those of you who aren’t aware, Del Toro (the director of Pan’s Labyrinth among other fantastic movies) and Hogan have come up with a new vampire tale that is ghastly and extremely scary … there is no romance here. Just a deadly virus that is turning people into blood-thirsty monsters. I loved every page of The Strain and I’m really chomping at the bit to start reading The Fall. So yeah … that’s what I did last night … I read.
Tonight, David and I will be meeting up with some friends who we were supposed to hang out with on Saturday in celebration of his birthday for a little dinner/drinks thing. In his world, it’s still his birthday ;)
But, as a reminder, the Autumnal Equinox arrives later on tonight … are y’all ready?
as long as it’s in 90s out here in Indiana, it’s still summer in my world. :D
Fall is my time of year….i love it when its cool outside and i get to wear my hoodies. annnd its hockey season. i live for this lol
AUGH! This is out now?! I just read THE STRAIN about a month ago and thought I had more time to get through my book list before it came out. Shoooooot! Oh well, I too am very excited to read this book. Happy reading, Trent!
The Strain was amazing and I can’t wait to read this book! So I can go and buy it this weekend??
Wow, Mists of Avalon. Been a long time since I’ve read that book. Perhaps too long!
@Hyz — you must reread the book … this is my 3rd reading and it’s just as good as the first time I read the book :D
@Trent – how scary? like gory and graphic? or really suspenseful and frightning? I am tempted to read, but I have trouble with too much gore :S.
@Katherine — There’s gore but it’s more about the suspense. These vamps are like rabid animals so … yeah.
