Well of course you have. And that’s why we love you. Read on to find out how you can catch the infection!
Launched at the San Diego Comic-Con, “The Strain Transformation†app is available as a free download in the iTunes and Google Play stores. Fans can discover what will happen when an ancient parasitic plague enters their system and transforms them into a monstrous vampire.

It offers exclusive video and access to “The Strain” social media, including the official “Strain” Facebook and Twitter pages.

He and his team are called upon to investigate a mysterious viral outbreak with hallmarks of an ancient and evil strain of vampirism. As the strain spreads, Eph, his team, and an assembly of everyday New Yorkers, wage war for the fate of humanity itself.
