The story takes place in New York City, where a virus begins to transform the populous into creatures of ancient descent. In a statement released by William Morrow, the HC imprint publishing the vampire project, del Toro said, "The trilogy advances in unexpected ways and each book contains unique and surprising revelations about the history, physiology and lore of the vampiric race, tracing its roots all the way back to its Old Testament origins."
Del Toro's experience with the subject matter is limited to his 2002 vampire film Blade II. This will be his first novel and only publication, but one of many commitments. Variety has the veteran director booked through 2017: He's currently at work on The Hobbit for New Line and MGM and then will return to his home studio Universal for the next several years with remakes of Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Slaughterhouse-Five in development.
