Mørke af Guillermo del Toro
Egentlig nyskabende i vampyrgenren er historien ikke, men den variation over "Dracula" som Richard Matheson i 1954 begyndte med "Jeg er den eneste" har bestemt fået nyt liv i de nærmest malende beskrivelser Guillermo del Toro og Chuck Hugan strøer om sig med.

Første bind i trilogien starter forrygende, men bliver lettere manisk mod slutningen.
