Back in September of 2008, filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro announced that he'd be launching a trilogy of books titled THE STRAIN, a series with his take on vampires. Back then, he said, ""The idea is epic in scope. The trilogy advances in unexpected ways and each book contains unique and surprising revelations about the history, physiology and lore of the vampiric race, tracing its roots all the way back to its Old Testament origins."

Now with a June 2nd release date locked for the first book, (co-written by Chuck Hogan) Del Toro has posted the following video about THE STRAIN TRILOGY! Check it out!
