The Strain is the first book in a horror trilogy by crime novelist Chuck Hogan and acclaimed director Guillermo del Toro.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The first book chronicles the arrival of an airplane at JFK airport filled with dead bodies drained of their blood. Dr. Ephraim Goodweather of the CDC is called in to investigate, but is baffled by the virus that seems to have killed these people. That is, until an old man provides him with information that this is not a virus, but another V-Word: Vampire.Followed by two sequels: The Fall released in 2010 and The Night Eternal in 2011. The book has been adapted into a TV show by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan, The Strain (TV series), and also an (extremely faithful) comic book adaption.

Artifact of Doom: The Occido Lumen. It's a book that details the origins of the vampire race, and wherever it goes, death and destruction follow.

Armor-Piercing Question
 The Strain / int_7b6e47a5
comment
Armor-Piercing Question: Palmer insists that the Master will honor his promise to make Palmer immortal, since the Master's plan could never have worked without him. Eph replies that the Master has already turned thousands of "ordinary" people into vampires "for free", and asks simply, "Then why is he making you wait in line?"

Artistic License – Religion
 The Strain / int_a27c0c2c
comment
Artistic License – Religion: A variant. The book tries to present the idea that what eventually wound up in scripture was a diluted version of the truth, but some of the more unique ideas presented include the idea that Azriel, the Archangel of Death who is viewed as a very kind entity in Islam and certain other variations of the Abrahamic faiths, went mad and murdered another Archangel.
