Guillermo del Toro Livres
Guillermo del Toro est un cinéaste dont l'œuvre puise dans des genres aussi divers que la fantasy, l'horreur et le drame de guerre. Son style d'auteur se caractérise par une esthétique sombre et une profonde fascination pour les monstres et le surnaturel, qui reflètent souvent les peurs et les traumatismes humains. Dans le domaine littéraire, il s'est fait connaître en tant que coauteur d'une série d'horreur apocalyptique qui explore les thèmes de la survie et de l'humanité face à une menace imminente. Son écriture est aussi visuellement captivante et atmosphérique que ses films acclamés.

Un avion en provenance d'Allemagne se pose à l'aéroport international JFK à New York. Tout à coup, l'inexplicable se produit : l'appareil s'arrête au milieu de la piste, ses lumières s'éteignent, l'équipage ne répond plus à la tour de contrôle. Ce que l'on découvre à bord est pour le moins mystérieux : tous les passagers, sauf quatre, sont morts, apparemment paisiblement, puisqu'on ne retrouve aucune trace de traumatisme ou de bagarre. Ont-ils été victimes d'un attentat au gaz ? D'une bactérie foudroyante ? Ephraim Goodweather et son équipe d'épidémiologistes doivent rapidement établir l'origine de ce drame avant que la population ne cède à la panique. Et il y a de quoi s'inquiéter : le soir même, deux cents cadavres disparaissent de plusieurs morgues à travers la ville. Tandis qu'une menace sans précédent plane sur New York, Ephraim et un petit groupe essaient de s'organiser. Pas seulement pour sauver leurs proches. C'est la survie de l'humanité entière qui est en jeu... Premier tome d'une trilogie sur les vampires intitulée La Lignée de sang, Symptôme s'annonce comme un événement planétaire.
