"If you have a taste for the real stuff of horror fiction, you'll find it in 30 Days of Night."
-- Clive Barker, for the award-winning graphic novel
Kurzbeschreibung
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: Rumors 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.

Well done!!
18. März 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
This was a surprisingly good vampire story! Apparently, it is based on the graphic novels in a series entitled 30 DAYS OF NIGHT. I haven't read any of the graphic novels but this book worked extremely well as a stand alone novel. Andy Gray and Paul Norris are FBI agents searching for Stella Olemaun, a suspected terrorist due to her stockpiling of weapons. Paul is killed by a vampire- only Paul doesn't truly die but instead becomes a vampire himself. Andy begins investigating on his own and soon discovers that Stella is no terrorist. Instead, Stella and her husband, Eben, were involved in a vampire attack on the town of Barrow, Alaska, and Stella is only trying to remain safe while warning the world about the vampires. Andy doesn't believe in vampires initially but soon learns that the FBI is aware of vampires and trying to keep their existence a secret. The FBI attempts to stop Andy's investigations only Andy gets angry and hits his boss, resulting in his suspension. Andy continues researching while drinking heavily and wakes up one morning to find his wife and children dead from a vampire attack. Andy is obviously the prime suspect and so he begins moving from place to place, trying to gather evidence that vampires are real and hoping to locate and kill Paul. He befriends a biochemist and sets a trap for the vampires only to be outsmarted by them. The story includes flashbacks to Stella's account of what happened in Barrow and the authors do an excellent job of weaving the past with the present. Highly recommended!

Nice start to the 30 Days of Night trilogy
22. August 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
For those that have read the graphic books, this novel is a 'must read.' The ending alone is worth the price of admission. The novel is very 'human centric' in the sense it mostly follows the pov of Agent Andy Grey, which means more backstory on him and his partner and less on the vampires themselves. For those that have never read the graphic novels, this book gets you up to speed real well and for those of us that have read them, well, this novel does a nice job of enriching that which we know.
The excerpt chapters from Stella's 30 Days were wonderful fun for myself as a reader - something I have always wanted to see in the kind of detail that only a novel can offer.
My only issue in the book: Grey's scheme to capture a vampire using hookers as bait - I felt that part was not well thought out and rushed, but that storyline is 30 pages out of 400.
The ending scenes in Barrow were my favorite - that is a very atmospheric town!
Bottom line: Rumors of the Undead is a fun read - worth the price easily!

Interesting but Grim
22. März 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
If you are in the mood for a fairly well written book and can handle a very gritty/grim tone then give this one a try. Let's just say the main character goes through some serious stuff as he comes to grips with what is happening. For me a little too grim. Again, interesting in spite of this . . .
