«Nocturna» is the vampire novel by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, published by Santillana in paperback (550 pages, in Spanish).
A Boeing 777 from Berlin lands in New York and falls silent: no one responds and a breach opens in the fuselage. A vampire lineage hidden for centuries begins to spread across the city and the world: in a week Manhattan will disappear, in three months the country, and in six the world.
Nocturna is the first instalment of the darkness trilogy (The Strain series) and was recognised with the Prix Masterton and the Lord Ruthven Award.
For horror and fantasy readers looking for vampires, thriller pacing, and an apocalypse narrated with Guillermo del Toro's imagination.
