The Strain on FX

Through watching Fargo and The Americans I have repeatedly seen the extremely creepy teasers for this show. I finally decided to look it up and saw it was a vampire series based off of a Del Toro novel of the same name starring Corey Stoll (Russo from House of Cards).
Has anyone on here read the book or looking forward to the show? I haven't heard anything about it besides the teasers. It definitely doesn't look like they will be Twilight or True Blood vampires.

I read the books. The first one is great, second one is good, third is meh. I hope they do this series justice. The books aren't a hard read if you want to pick them up.

Yes! "The Strain" is actually the first book in a trilogy. The other two books are "The Fall" and "The Night Eternal".
The books are fantastic and I have read that Del Toro and Chuck Hogan (they wrote the books together) envision the first two books covering the first two seasons and the third book would cover two to three seasons. It is filmed in a documentary style. If the show opens like the first book does - and it better! - then I think people will be hooked immediately.
It also stars-
David Bradley (Harry Potter movies and 'Game of Thrones')
Kevin Durand (Sgt. Keamy from 'Lost')
Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings movies and 'Goonies')
Plus lots of Canadian actors as it films in Toronto.
The promo poster is awesome.
Can't wait to watch it! And since Del Toro is writing most of the episodes and directing a few, too; I have faith that it will stay true to the books.
