Book Description

Publication Date: May 1993 | Series: Twilight Zone, No 4/Audio Cassette/Unabridged

Earth has become almost uninhabitable when 24 hours of continuous sunlight causes the thermometer to creep towards 140 degrees. In New York City, Norma and her landlady, Mrs Bronson, are the last people in their building, the rest having moved north where it is cooler. Trying to keep each other company as electricity is rationed and food and water become even more scarce, survival seems impossible. It is only a matter of time before humans can no longer exist in the unbearable heat. Then Norma wakes from her fever-induced dream to find that earth is actually freezing over. Hot or cold, is earth really doomed?

This review is from: The Twilight Zone: The Midnight Sun (Twilight Zone (Walker Hardcover)) (Hardcover)

"The Midnight Sun" is a comic book adaptation of the Twilight Zone episode of the same name. In this alternate universe the sun shines continuously and the heat is rising with each passing day. As a result, water is scarce and civilization comes apart as people lose their minds, deprived of sleep and hydration. The story is told with a painter as the main character who observes the destruction from her apartment trying to survive but ready to face the inevitable.

It's a sharply realised story with a real sense of horror portrayed throughout. The artwork, while not fantastic, is enough for this story and the writing keeps you reading until the twisted ending. An enjoyable comic book for those looking to pass the time and who have a fond memory of that iconic TV show, "The Twilight Zone". A good read.
