Strain Book 1, Strain Volume 3, and Strain Volume 4 by David Lapham, 273, 128, and 136 pagesA quick note before I get into this review, Book 1 contained volumes 1 and 2. So while it might look like I am missing a book, I really am not.
Strain is a graphic novel series about a vampire infestation emerging in Manhattan. It all starts when one of the ancient vampiric masters is brought over by an eccentric billionaire with the hopes of being granted eternal life. The CDC is quick to respond though puppets of the vampire block, delay or deny everything.
These vampires are not the classic type with two fangs and the neck biting. These are more of the modern horror evolved vampires. The ones with a sharp protruding proboscis they use to stab their prey and suck the life out of them. It also infects them with these little worms that are the actual vampiric parasite. I have never been a big fan of this type of vampire, but it does really add to the horror and the gore.
This series is not for the faint of heart and does contain some pointless adult scenes.
