The Strain - Guillermo Del Toro

Pretty typical vampire story. Small twists with post 9/11 concerns and pandemic virus fears.

One of the problems I have with the story is the very little explanation as to the supernatural elements of these vampires. The physical, scientific aspects are covered in depth, but the supernatural is hinted at with statements that the ancient vampires can switch bodies, have telepathic abilities and can possibly be destroyed by killing the main vampire. That part is pretty standard stuff, really, but the scientific aspects of the "disease" are such a huge focus that the supernatural doesn't seem to fit these vamps.

The story flowed well. Characters were decently built. Just don't expect anything really new.
