Rumors of the Undead: 30 Days of Night, Book 1 (30 Days of Night)

by Steve Niles and Jeff Mariotte

Rumors of the Undead: 30 Days of Night, Book 1 (30 Days of Night) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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.

Rumors Of The Undead is Steve Niles's innovative and eagerly anticipated expansion of 30 Days of Night, a nightmarish narrative that explores the nature of ancient evil existing — and thriving — in an unsuspecting modern world.

Review:

"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

Review:

"[Rumors of the Undead is] both a fun and dark adventure, filled with frightening undead, a decent hero, and a cinematic ending that would make any Hollywood executive proud." FantasyBookSpot.com

Synopsis:

Based on the IDW comic book, this first original novel begins a new trilogy set in the terrifying world of the graphic novel Maxim calls "a shocker of a horror tale." Original.

Synopsis:

FBI Special Agent Andy Gray used to have a grip on things. But that was before the violent confrontation with the terrifying creature that had once been his former partner and friend turned his world upside down. Now Gray is looking for some answers, and finding only more questions, all of which seem to lead straight to the backwater town of Barrow, Alaska — a place that has seen its own share of horror. Andy Gray has no idea what he's gotten himself into — and he's about to find out just how dangerous the stuff of legend can actually be...
