It’s been a while since I last reviewed Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan’s novel “The Strain”, but since I started commuting I finally got around to reading the second book in the trilogy “The Fall” and have finished with “The Night Eternal”. 

I don’t want to give too much plot away, but I really enjoyed it for a horror novel. There isn’t much to describe: it has ruthless vampires, piles of gore and gruesome violence, but most importantly it’s actually a compelling read. The writing did take a little bit of time to register and pull me in, but overall I thought these two novels were a great second and third act to the story I’ve been invested in for almost two years.

If you’re interested in a good horror novel, enjoy the work of Guillermo Del Toro, or just need something new to read - check out “The Strain”, it’s a great first entry into a fairly gory trilogy.
