The Night Eternal

By Guillermo del Toro & Chuck Hogan
The Night Eternal by Guillermo del Toro & Chuck Hogan digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

“The most credible and frightening of all the vampire books of the past decade.”
San Francisco Chronicle

“Bram Stoker meets Stephen King meets Michael Crichton. It just doesn’t get much better than this.”
—Nelson DeMille

The stunning New York Times bestselling vampire saga that author Dan Simmons (Drood, The Terror) calls, “an unholy spawn of I Am Legend out of ‘Salem’s Lot,” concludes with The Night Eternal. The magnificent, if monstrously warped brainchild of cinematic horror master Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy) and Chuck Hogan—whose novel Prince of Thieves, was praised as, “one of the 10 best books of the year” by Stephen King—The Night Eternal begins where The Strain and The Fall left off: with the last remnants of humankind enslaved by the vampire masters in a world forever shrouded by nuclear winter.  Still, a small band of the living fights on in the shadows, in the final book of the ingenious dark fantasy trilogy that Newsweek says is, “good enough to make us break that vow to swear off vampire stories.”

Red Angry Face“Well there we have it folks, it is done and I am like most of my fellow reviewers, dissapointed. I disliked the majority of this book, in fact I disliked all of it, the only “good" thing about it, in all honesty was the Epilogue. I would’ve actually preferred to have read a book after after the bomb went off than read this book. I just don’t understand why the authors went for the biblical route, when they had a really good scientific foundation in the first novel. I mention the first novel becuase this is really the only one that is actually worth reading from this trilogy. The Night Eternal was just entirely too long. Did it really have to be this long? Like really? This tome could have easily been half the length and it would have accomplished the same thing, DISSAPOINTMENT. As usual, Zach was awful, and I was glad to see him blown to smithereens, as I was glad to see Eph also being blown away in the bomb. He just got so obnoxious and uncool towards the end, with the whole Zack thing like dude we know you love your son, but like HUMANITY!!! I was sad Gus died, Gus was my favorite character from the whole trilogy and to see him die was not fun. But honestly I’m glad he did because I dont know if he would’ve liked how the world turned out after the Master was destroyed. The book does have a bunch of plot holes, which I’m willing to overlook if it were actually good but it is not. Like for example how was Quinlan created by the Master if according to this book the Master was the last one to be created, and he was “born” in North America centuries after the romans and all that stuff. It just doesn’t make any sense. But again I’d be willing to overlook this if the book had been actually good All in all, I think there were some (many?) missed opportunities with this trilogy, my squabble is not with the first book of the series, but rather the last two. I would’ve been happy if it had just been the first book and the TV Show. Unfortunately this is not the case and we got stuck with a really good beginning and a very, very bad ending.”
