Del Toro Does Vampires

By Peter Tatara on April 28, 2009

“An animated corpse that lusts after your blood… breaking and violating our safety with a sense of dread and horror.”
“A plague of creatures where you did not recognize their humanity… but our own inhumanity in them.”
These two quotes come from Guillermo Del Toro about his upcoming vampire book, The Strain. The Strain is his response to the rash of tween vampire love stories. Simply put, Del Toro isn’t a fan, and he wants to put out some literature featuring bestial, demonic creatures much closer to the original vampires of folklore and mythology than those found in the pulpy yarns every 12-year-old girl buries her nose in on the subway.
