The Strain

The Strain by by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan.
  401 pages

This twist on the standard vampire mythology (no sparkly vampires)  is a bold, epic novel about a horrifying battle between man and vampire that threatens all humanity

An airplane lands at JFK, begins to taxi to the gate, then stops. The lights are out, all shades pulled down, engines are off, all communication has ended. Crews on the ground find everyone dead. They bring in the CDC and haul away the bodies but are at a loss to explain why the bodies aren't decomposing and are still warm.

The vampires in this story have a different way of infecting their prey which is why the CDC keeps referring to the cause of this tragedy as a virus.
