The Strain
Guillermo del Toro & Chuck Hogan · William Morrow, New York · 2009
US and UK were genuinely simultaneous, and the census claim is CONFIRMED. The William Morrow hardcover (New York) is dated 2 June 2009 and the HarperCollins UK hardcover, ISBN 0007310250 / 9780007310258, is likewise dated 2 June 2009. Both are collected; the Morrow is the copy carrying the documented die-cut first-issue jacket point, and is the edition dealers describe in detail. Written in English, so no original-language question arises.
