New York City – Explore the iconic landmarks and neighborhoods where the vampire outbreak occurs, such as Central Park, Times Square, and the Lower East Side.

CL: He’s right, though. There are too many vampire stories now that show vampires as gentle and understanding creatures that have been misunderstood or marginalized in society. This type of storytelling is a disservice to vampires everywhere. Vampires aren’t suave like Brad Pitt, and they certainly aren’t romantic. They see us humans as nothing more than cattle. A source of food. To them, we are no better than rats. The Strain: Webisodes (The Strain: Under Siege) (TV Series)". FilmAffinity . Retrieved July 14, 2020. This is the first of a planned trilogy.

However, Del Toro borrowed liberally from some of his movies, most noticeably Mimic and Blade II. The characters are B-movie thin, especially the hero who is also saddled with a bad sub-plot of a custody fight for his son. (His ex-wife and the social service worker can’t understand why a potential viral outbreak might cause a CDC doctor to have to reschedule an appointment or two.) The opening set-up with a plane load of dead passengers has been used twice before that I know of in Nelson DeMille’s The Lion’s Game and Fringe in its pilot episode. This will especially appeal to anyone from or familiar with New York City. The story carries you from JFK Airport to the Bronx and Queens to Vesey St. down in Tribeca or the very heart of Times Square. The thought of vampires emerging in these familiar settings, ready to prey on unsuspecting tourists (although I wouldn't mind a few less tourists in the area) as the lights of Broadway flash over their pale, almost transparent flesh is a terrific mental image. Even if you are a stranger to New York City, del Toro and Hogan paint such a vibrant picture with their words that it shouldn't take away from this phenomenal read.
