You can always depend on a 'Making of' book with Guillermo del Toro's involvement to be stellar. The man just oozes creativity. And this is a great 'Behind the Scenes'-type book that pairs remarkably well with the television series. I was a fan of the original novels and I'm happy to see del Toro and FX develop them for the small screen with a production that rivals most Hollywood movies. With concept art by the incomparable Guy Davis and Keith Thompson (whose art graces the cover!) as well as del Toro regulars Juan Pablo Garcia Tames and Francisco Ruiz Velasco--I'm beside myself with glee. The book also details the progression of The Master and his 'strigoi' underlings along with other beasties I'll let you discover for yourself. Look, if you're a fan of the series or a del Toro groupie or just appreciate the process of making a series of this caliber, check it out. I'll guarantee this will shine in your collection just as it does in mine.
The book is great if you love the series it gives you great information on the making of the tv series. The art is awesome I would definitely recommend if you want some insight into the making of the show.
The Art of the Strain written by Robert Abele was received direct from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. The book was more than I expected with it telling about Guillermo Del Toros love for vampires. We are not talking Twilight vampires but the mean, old school, bloodthirsty ones. The book also has, guess what, art from The Strain that I wish I could put on my walls. This art includes creature designs, television set designs and cast make up work. The book also explores the TV series from inception to modern day (through Season Two), in words, photos and paintings. If you or someone you know is a fan of this book series, TV series or director, buy this book in hard copy as soon as possible, you will not be disappointed.
Love The Strain!! Loved the art book!!
