Many of you may have read Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan‘s trilogy of vampire horror novels, which began with The Strain back in 2009 and was followed by The Fall in 2010 and The Night Eternal in 2011.
Considering del Toro’s strong background in film and his dabbling in TV and video games and pretty much all forms of entertainment, it was safe to assume that the books would eventually come to life via adaptation at some point.
Now comes word that the FX network is near a deal that would see a pilot made based on The Strain.
2011 was a big year for doorstopper-sized fantasy novels, particularly A Dance of Dragons by George R.R. Martin, which is a whopping 1,040 pages. It sold 298,000 copies on its first day alone, which included 170,000 hardcovers, 110,000 eBooks, and 18,000 audiobooks, proving that although ebook sales are catching up, print is still ahead for big releases like this.
Another major series that got a hugely anticipated sequel came in the form of Patrick Rothfuss’ The Wise Man’s Fear, which continues the events of The Name of the Wind and propels Kvothe into an even more compelling situations. Canadian horror also got a few notable entries with Enter, Night and Dead of Winter, both historical fiction novels and both superbly written. Small and mid-sized presses continue to produce some of the best genre fiction out there, and this year proved no exception.
Here’s my picks for the Top 10 Fantasy and Horror Books of 2011.
