The Fall, by Guillermo del Toro and Chuch Hogan
Book 2 of the epic vampire The Strain series, and so vivid and gory that I actually had book-related nightmares the night I finished it for the first time in my life (that I know of, at least!) So, not for the faint of heart, but I can't wait for book 3, just the same. Graphic, interestingly plotted horror.

The Strain, by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan
Pretty decent vampire horror/thriller- a plane lands at La Guardia, but never taxis in. When TSA and DHS et al get to it, every one on board is dead. What goes on next is a plot-hole disaster of a story, but it was pretty well done. Kind of Stephen Kingish/Michael Crichtonish/Richard Mathesonish but not as good. Still, was very refreshing after the Jane Austen. Gory and fast, and very cinematic.
