Something big is out there. something bigger than anything you would think. Even some vampires are shocked to discover the horror of what walks the shadows, and that means that something has to be done. The only problem is that doing requires actions - something an old "monster" might not want to trade its existence for. Enter our main character and the goals there - what are they, who is this, and why is all of this something thta matters?
It all draws you in, making you want to check it out.

When I saw the writer influence here, I recalled a CSI book I had picked up ANd a Silent Hill story I had read. Both of these were good, really good, and they make me break my own little rule about picking up strange books simply because of their tie-ins. I'm glad I did that, too, because one pen manages to craft a heck of a story (I know Niles is credited here, but I always wonder how much they do, really). There are parts in this book that I think I see coming on to find out that they are not at all what they seem, and there are places that provide characterization to people who would be make/break influences. i like that - I like it a lot - and I really felt the book was a nice 4.

For those who have yet to read a tie-in novel, 30 Days stuff is odd because it comes out of Barrow and plays. i know the GNs have done that a lot, but they always have an anchor in a character or a deed or something. These - they don't have to. I like that in a lot of ways; all you esentially are doing is taking a type of vmapire and loosing it on the world, allowing it to be itself. and considering the way the world is, it might be nice to have fangs and power.
