The final instalment in the Strain trilogy by the world-famous director of Pan’s Labyrinth and Hellboy. Now a popular Amazon TV show. The night belongs to them, and it will be a night eternal… After the blasts, it was all over. Nuclear Winter has settled upon the earth. Except for one hour of sunlight a day, the whole world is plunged into darkness. It is a near-perfect environment for vampires. They have won. It is their time. Almost every single man, woman and child has been enslaved in vast camps across the globe. Like animals, they are farmed, harvested for the sick pleasure of the Master Race. Almost, but not all. Somewhere out there, hiding for their lives, is a desperate network of free humans, continuing the seemingly hopeless resistance. Everyday people, with no other options – among them Dr Ephraim Goodweather, his son Zack, the veteran exterminator Vassily, and former gangbanger Gus. To be free, they need a miracle, they need divine intervention. But Salvation can be a twisted game – one in which they may be played like pawns in a battle of Good and Evil. And at what cost…?

Praise for THE NIGHT ETERNAL: ‘A devilishly good read, full of satisfying scares’ Stephen King Praise for THE FALL:‘The climax, all fire and brimstone, nicely sets up the third and final volume’ Financial Times ‘Enough blood-curdling action to set up a gory finale’ News of the World ‘Relentlessly paves the way for what promises to be an epic third book’ Kirkus Praise for THE STRAIN:‘A near-flawless thriller’ News of the World ‘A rattling piece of escapism’ The Times ‘The first in a trilogy that soars with spellbinding intrigue. Truly, an unforgettable tale you can’t put down once you read the first page. I can’t wait until the next one.’ Clive Cussler ‘Blood and apocalypse mix in a terrifying story that feels like it was ripped from today's headlines. Vividly wrought and relentlessly paced, THE STRAIN haunts as much as it terrifies. I cannot wait to see where Del Toro and Hogan take us next.’ James Rollins ‘Diverting and never less than expertly crafted’ Guardian
