In 'Nocturna', the first installment of the 'Trilogy of Darkness' by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, a plane from Berlin to New York becomes the epicenter of a terrifying event. What is initially considered a contagious virus soon reveals itself as something much more sinister: an insatiable thirst for blood. As the epidemic rapidly spreads through Manhattan, a dark plan to conquer the planet is discovered, led by ancient vampires. The struggle between good and evil is unleashed in an unequal battle between humans and supernatural creatures, full of action, betrayals, and alliances, inviting reflection on the human condition. A story that will captivate you from the first page and make you wish it were just a story.
