Suck blood that is. Because they're books about vampires...get it? Suck? Vampires? It's a joke about how vampires suck blood. Ok, sorry, I'll shut up now.
Anyways, Del Toro, seen above drinking what looks to be an iced mocha (or possibly a chocolate shake) has announced that he will be writing a trilogy of books about vampires, with some help from a writer named Chuck Hogan.
"The idea is epic in scope," del Toro said in a statement issued Wednesday by publisher William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins. "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."
The first book will be called The Strain, and it is set to be released next summer.
If you don't know who Guillermo Del Toro is, shame on you. He's the director of both Hellboy films, another amazing film called Pan's Labyrinth, and he's going to be directing the new live action Hobbit movies. So the chances that his vampire books will be great are pretty damn good. I'll be sure to pick up the first one and give it a try.
