![]() ![]() In an interview on, del Toro says that one of his favorite authors is Roald Dahl, who mixed "the grotesque and the magical." Explaining that he chose vampires as his villains because he loves "the rephrasing of an old myth," del Toro goes on to say that he was also heavily influenced by Richard Matheson and Jeff Rice's 1972 TV movie, The Nightstalker, which pits "a common worker, a man used to dealing with things in a procedural way" against a powerful vampire. Chuck Hogan is the author of novels that include The Standoff and Prince of Thieves. Justin Cronin's The Passage (also the first of a trilogy) tells a similar story.ĭel Toro has achieved fame as the director of movies such as The Devil's Backbone, Blade II, Hellboy I, Hellboy II, and the Academy Award-winning Pan's Labyrinth. If you enjoyed reading David Wellington 's MONSTER/ZOMBIES series or his LAURA CAXTON series or watching The Walking Dead TV series, you'll probably like this one. Even though this series falls outside my definition for paranormal fiction, I'm including it because it has some read-alikes in the paranormal fiction genre. ![]()
