Watch This: Teaser for Del Toro's 'The Strain'
Filed under: Fandom, Trailers and Clips
The fancy folks behind Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan's vampire trilogy have created an awesomely creepy trailer to tease us for The Strain: Book One of The Strain Trilogy's release June 2nd. I try to avoid buying hardcover books, but this will be an exception!Del Toro tells Wired, ""I'm not good at forensic novels. I'm not good at hazmat language and that CSI-style precision. When [Bram] Stoker wrote Dracula, it was very modern, a CSI sort of novel. I wanted to give The Strain a procedural feel, where everything seems real." A little bit of potty mouth and violence makes this video a dicey proposition for viewing at work, but your mileage may vary. Video after the jump.

I too try to avoid buying hard cover books. Mostly for their expense, but I will definitely be getting my hands on this book. I am a huge Guillermo del Toro fan. I havent had a good scary book in a long while.

I'm very selective about what hardbound books I buy, too. It has to be something I know I will read more than once. After reading the first chapter online tonight, I'm headed for the bookstore as soon as it opens tomorrow to get my hands on a copy NOW.
About the trailer: is there also a movie in the works? Or is this just a short video produced to sell the book? If so, that's one heck of a marketing idea.
