The vampiric virus unleashed in The Strain has taken over New York City. It is spreading across the country and soon, the world. Amid the chaos, Eph Goodweather, head of the CDC′s team and one of a small group who have banded together to fight the bloodthirsty monsters that roam the streets, finally manages to identify the parasite that causes the infection. But it may be too late.

Started reading the strain and their writing is comparable to Michael Crichton at his best.

AMAIZING.

@EamonLoingsigh You're throwing shit at something you never even read because it has to do with vampires. Who the fuck are you to tell Del Toro that he can't write whatever the fuck he wants, whether it's about vampires or singing frogs? What's your fucking name, I want your office. I want to know who elected you to whatever position you're in that it's your fucking job to tell someone like him what he can and can't do. Until you know what it is you're talking about, kindly shut the fuck up.

Did anyone hear the name of the other writer GDT mentions at around 52:05 along with Borges? Thanks in advance.

@EamonLoingsigh There's no sense debating with someone who hasn't done their homework. Only a moron would speak out on a topic on which they have not educated themselves.

[EamonLoingsigh]

@parabyte I am only unhappy about the selection of a very mainstream topic and wish he would/could use his writing power to open new doors. Name callers... you bore me. Debate me instead of acting like chimpanzees.

@EamonLoingsigh << Yup, moron here. Obviously has not read the novels.
