The Fall : The tension-filled sequel to The Strain, from the world-famous director whose films include Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy. Humans have been displaced at the top of the food chain, and now understand -- to their outright horror -- what it is to be not the consumer, but the consumed. Ephraim Goodweather, director of the New York office of the Centers for Disease control, is one of the few humans who understands what is really happening. Vampires have arrived in New York City, and their condition is contagious. If they cannot be contained, the entire world is at risk of infection. As Eph becomes consumed with the battle against the total corruption of humanity, his ex-wife, Kelly, now a vampire herself, is ever-more determined to claim their son, Zack. As the Biblical origins of the Ancient ones are gradually revealed, Eph learns that there is a greater, more terrible plan in store for the human race -- worse even than annihilation!

In a blue-collar Boston neighbourhood a planned robbery takes place. The men wear masks. Their guns are drawn on the pretty bank manager, Claire Keesey, who nervously recites the alarm code, and the tumblers within the huge vault fall. The timing and execution are brilliant. It could be the perfect job. A huge sum of cash is stolen, but so too is one man's heart, as Doug MacRay, the brains behind the tough, tight-knit crew of thieves, falls for Claire. But she has another admirer: FBI agent Adam Frawley, who is beginning to zero in on the gang, and for Doug, pursuing Claire may be his most dangerous act of all.

Oleada vampírica de la mano de Guillermo Del Toro. Nocturna es el primero de la trilogía... no te lo puedes perder. Con su desbordante imaginación , Guillermo del Toro, el creador de la oscarizada El laberinto del fauno, nos trae la novela mas perversa e innovadora que puedas soñar.

Kennedy de Nueva York proveniente de Berlin, y cuando se dirige a la puerta para que los pasajeros empiecen a desembarcar, de repente se oscurece. La torre de control pierde contacto con el piloto y toda la actividad electrica del aparato se corta. No se escuchan moviles, ni BlackBerries, ni la radio, nada. Las cortinas de las ventanillas estan bajadas y no se ve a nadie dentro. Se reune un equipo de emergencias y todos observan al avion silencioso ahora bañado por las luces del aeropuerto, en completo silencio. Parece una gigantesca lapida blanca que brilla contra el oscuro cielo de la noche. Entonces una brecha negra aparece en el fuselaje: es una puerta que se abre desde dentro con una lentitud glacial Siempre han estado aqui. Vampiros. Anidando y alimentandose. En secreto y oscuridad. A la espera. Ahora ha llegado su momento. En una semana, Manhattan habra desaparecido. En tres meses, todo el pais. En seis meses, el mundo entero.

The vampiric virus unleashed in The Strain has taken over New York City. It is spreading across the country and soon, the world. Amid the chaos, Eph Goodweather—head of the Center for Disease Control's team—leads a small band out to stop these bloodthirsty monsters. But it may be too late. Ignited by the Master's horrific plan, a war erupts between Old and New World vampires, each vying for total control. Caught between these warring forces, humans—powerless and vulnerable—are no longer the consumers, but the consumed. Though Eph understands the vampiric plague better than anyone, even he cannot protect those he loves from the invading evil. His ex-wife, Kelly, has been turned by the Master, and now she stalks the city, in the darkness, looking for her chance to reclaim Zack, Eph's young son. With the future of the world in the balance, Eph and his courageous team, guided by the brilliant former professor and Holocaust survivor Abraham Setrakian and exterminator Vasiliy Fet, must combat a terror whose ultimate plan is more terrible than anyone first imagined—a fate worse than annihilation.
