The three books that make up Cronin’s saga, The Passage, The Twelve, and The City Of Mirrors comprise a modern horror masterpiece. It’s hard to know where to begin when describing this series, so I’ll start with the stuff that would seem hyperbolic if it wasn’t true. Or at least it would be were it not for the existence of Justin Cronin’s PassageTrilogy.
In a post Twilightworld, it’s hard to imagine that vampires can ever be scary again. Where once they were considered cool, sexy and dangerous, now they’re the butt of lots of jokes about sparkling. Thanks to a certain YA phenomenon, the word “vampire” can barely be taken seriously anymore.
