Product Description

In a sleepy, secluded Alaska town called Barrow, the sun sets and doesn't rise for more than thirty consecutive days and nights from November to December. During this time a few years ago, from the darkness and across the frozen wasteland, an evil that normally preferred to exist in the shadows descended upon Barrow and brought the residents to their knees. Barrow's only hope was Eben and Stella Olemaun, a husband-and-wife law enforcement team who were torn between their own survival and saving the town they loved. Months later, as Stella Olemaun attempts to warn the world about the looming vampire threat by any means necessary, a rogue government agent may be taking more than an active interest in her story. And meanwhile, further north, a new sheriff and his young son must solve the lingering mystery of Barrow, even as the survivors of the original attack prepare for the sun to set once again - however this time, they're ready. "30 Days of Night: Rumours of the Undead" is Steve Niles's innovative and eagerly anticipated expansion of a nightmarish narrative that explores the nature of ancient evil existing - and thriving - in an unsuspecting modern world.

Another 30 Days of Night
30 days of night started as a graphic novel series of horror comics, which I have read. The events of this book take place after the events in the graphic novels and the (forthcoming in October 2007) movie.

I liked this book. I'm not a great horror reader, but I do like books about vampires (maybe because I'm writing one). This takes away all romantiscm surrounding vampires in some books. These guys are not tall, dark, hunky heartthrobs. These guys are unattractive, razor-toothed, killing-machines, who basically see humans in one way only - dinner.

So, this is set between the movie and the next book in the series - Immortal Remains. There are characters from the graphic novels in there as well as characters from the next book. I really don't want to say much and spoil the rest of the books, so you will just have to read them and find out. I will say that this book, mostly reads from the point of view of a human character, and as the title says, there are 'rumours of the undead' so not so many actual vampires around. The next book is from the point of view of a vampire, and there is much more vampire activity in that one. Enjoy!

Superb book!
I bought this book, after purchasing 30 days of Night, the book of the film, while on holiday in the States recently.
I loved both the film, and the book of the film so i thought i would try the series.
Im so glad i did! This book has everything you need from a good vampire story. As this book basically follows on from where the film left off, you really need to have seen the film to understand what is happening, and some of the details have been changed slightly, however, this book is superb
Took me 2 days to read, and i have purchased the rest of the series.
There are not enough good vampire books out there any more. Most are slushy vampire romances, so this book was like a breath of fresh air.
Buy it!
