This year however, the Dark will bring something else - from across the frozen wasteland, a horrifying evil descends upon Barrow, mercilessly besieging its residents with unrelenting terror and swift death. As the darkness continues and the thirty days of night seemingly have no end in sight, Barrow's only remaining hope lies with Sheriff Eben Olemaun and Deputy Stella Olemaun, a husband and wife who are torn between saving the town they love and their own survival.\f1 \par }

5.0 out of 5 stars Seriously terrifying, October 15, 2007

This book scared the crap out of me. I'm talking the lying-awake-at-2am-thinking-I'm-hearing-something-rustling-under-my-bed-scared. I haven't been that freaked out by a book since Stephen King's "It".

I read it in two days, and that's what kept me awake, wondering how they were going to get out of this remote Alaskan village without getting violently ripped to shreds. It was well-done and extremely descriptive.

I hope they do well with the movie, but the book was vivid enough for me. Lebbon is a madman. Excellent book if you love horror.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stands on its Own, October 17, 2007

Most movie novelizations are pretty b-novel material. They get second tier writers, and the writing is reminisicent of a romance novel. Not in this case. This book is suspenseful, well-written, and could easily stand on its own. I really can't wait to see the movie and read the graphic novels!

As a side note, FINALLY someone has written about vampires that are bloody scary! Enough of the brooding, angst ridden vampire that's just misunderstood. These are not vampires that women will be dreaming about each night! These are the "real" thing! Bravo! Right up there with Vltraviolet (the BBC one).

A well written novelization. Vampires were scary as all get out! Was a bit dissapointed in the end, but I guess it was the only way to end it! I recommend this book to vampire fans. I look forward to seeing the movie!
