Director Guillermo Del Toro has been on a book tour promoting The Strain which premiered last night at Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles. The new novel by Del Toro and Chuck Hogan prompted people to start lining up hours before the 12:01 AM release time today. That's right, the book signing began just after midnight and continued well past 4 AM. Why? Because his reps say "he won't leave the store until every geek who purchased a book and wants an autograph gets one". Tonight, Del Toro will be at Borders bookstore in Westwood which starts at 7 PM so he might exit at a decent hour. But don't count on it.
