Books in This Series
Fall: Book Two of the Strain Trilogy
The Fall suffers from middle-book syndrome but delivers genuine horror when it matters. Daniel Oreskes proves a worthy successor to Ron Perlman, even if the transition takes some adjustment.
Night Eternal: Book Three of the Strain Trilogy
The Strain trilogy concludes with a darker, more character-focused finale that delivers on mythology but occasionally gets lost in interpersonal drama. Solid narration carries you through, even when the pacing tests your patience.
