I read this first before seeing the movie, and enjoyed it immensely. Horror writer Tim Lebbon novelizes the film 30 Days of Night (which itself is based on the graphic novel series of the same name). Many novelizations fail because they are only cheap knock-offs of the movie written quickly -- and too often, poorly -- by hack writers in order to capitalize on the popularity of a film. In this case, the result is appropriately creepy and terrifying. Lebbon is a talented writer and it shows here.
I loved this book. It kept me interested throughout the whole book.
I listened to the full cast audible production, but couldn't find that version on Goodreads. This was short but entertaining.
3.5 StarsBlood, gore, no sparkles, no love; just hunger... and all the blood. I love vampires; especially when the romance is taken away. How can you love with no life? how can you make babies if you're dead? how can you emote any emotion besides the base of humanity, which is the beast?? well.... you can't; you're dead. you are a vamp. humans are but cattle, flesh, blood...meat! These are real vamps, just read and see why...
3.5/5; a solid novelization
One of the best vampire novels I've read. What better premise for a vampire story to take place where they could have 30 days of night in the far northern city of Barrow, AK.How could one survive that long in the dark in general, let alone avoiding blood thirsty vampires.No sparkles from these vampires. They are here for 30 days of Vampire Mardi Gras!
A fast paced, bite sized thriller that will chill you! I found this book so absolutely scary that their were times I had to stop reading. You know if a book gives you nightmares then it is perfectly scary! A fantastic novelization to the terrifying movie. If you loved the movie then you will love this book.
Totally gruesome and chilling stuff. I don't usually go for vampires, but this book changed that. It was un-put-downable. I would watch a series based on this!
The audio version of this is so fun. A perfectly juicy listen.
Now THIS is what I'm talking about! I don't know how the movie will be, but this book was great. If you love vampire and/or zombie novels, you'll truly enjoy this. This is the first book I've read by author Tim Lebbon, but if he writes this well in all of his books, it won't be my last!
30 Days of Night, is a novel adaptation of the movie of the same name. It has the atmosphere of John Carpenter's "The Thing." The location is a town that is at the northernmost point of Alaska, and they are being haunted by a supernatural killer. Or in this case a bunch of vampires who came north, to be able to live in the dark for 30 days. This is more a fun story, than scary, in my opinion, just because of the atmosphere. The Alaskan setting is a lot of fun. The book just runs along like an ad...
30 Days of Night (Movie Novelization) / 978-1-4165-4497-5As a disclaimer, I have neither read the original graphic novel series on which this movie is based, nor have I seen the actual movie in question. But I love vampire stories and this book caught my eye with the interesting premise of an isolated arctic town besieged by vampires during an entire 30-day blackout period.In many ways, this book does not disappoint. The suspense starts immediately, with a mysterious stranger drifting into town
good seen the movie and it was spot on so loved that
amazing amazing amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tim lebbon made it better than the movie itself
Exactly like the movie. A new take on vampires. What would you do if you were stuck in a town with no daylight for 30 days and a whole pack of vampires? This book tells one story.
30 Days of Night is a rather quick read, even though it's a little over 300 pages. It's an especially quick to read if you've seen the movie. I saw the movie first, and it is one of my favorite horror movies. The book and movie are pretty much the same exact set of events. The storyline is unique and original, especially in the overdone vampire genre. These are not kind, loving, sparkly vampires. These are some of the most evil, heartless, blood-thirsty vampires ever created. This is what I year...
just not my style
A bit of fun
