Guillermo del Toro

The name just rolls off the tongue.  His stories will stay with you as well.  I just finished the second book in the Strain Trilogy (co-authored with Chuck Hogan), The Fall.  The Master and the vampire hunters (Setrakian, Eph, Fet, and Nora) are back, navigating the dark tunnels of the subway and fighting against what the government recognizes only as a virus.  This book was as action packed as the first and left the reader with an ending that will be surely be expanded upon in the third book (set for publication in 2011).  This is intense vampire fiction (no gore spared the reader) and even Bella couldn't charm this Master.  If you like your vampires to just take a nip, this isn't the vampire series for you.  However, if you like a mystery for the quest of vampiric origins, and don't mind if the good guys don't win every battle, check out The Strain and The Fall.
