30 Days of Night was one of the undisputed success stories of modern comics, spawning a bestselling trade paperback, a major motion picture deal, and the attention of thousands of fans longing for an innovative tale of terror. Now the same creative team revisits Barrow, Alaska, the town where it all began, as the long night creeps once more over the tundra. Some things may have changed, but the horror remains.
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. 30 Days Of Night: Rumors Of The Undead is Steve Niles's innovative and eagerly anticipated expansion of a nightmarish narrative that explores the nature of ancient evil existing -- and thriving -- in an unsuspecting modern world.
Existing in shadow, thriving in night, a terrifying serial killer stalks the residential streets of Savannah, Georgia - one whose brutal signature is now drawing the attention of other denizens of darkness, for better or worse. But there is more than meets the eye here, and the horrifying truth behind these savage killings is about to be revealed - a truth that has dire implications for the very future of the mortal world...
Go deeper into the night with this continuation of the vampire tale that put horror comics back on the map! Series creators Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith, joined by a cast of all-star comics talent, bring you multiple stories of blood and darkness. First, it's two stories for the price of one in Bloodsucker Tales. Kody Chamberlain provides art for Steve Niles' story, "Dead Billy Dead," in which a young man is turned into a vampire only to be abducted, along with his girlfriend, by an obssesive scientist. Then, superstar writer Matt Fraction (Sex Criminals) gets the Templesmith treatment with "Juarez," in which Lex Nova investigates the disappearances of hundreds of girls in a Mexican border town. He suspects vampire involvement. Unfortunately, an entire tribe of territorial vampires thinks the same thing. In Eben & Stella, find out what happened to the heroes of Barrow after the end of Dark Days, and before their appearance in Return to Barrow. Featuring Kelly Sue DeConnick (Bitch Planet) and Justin Randall (Changing Ways). In Templesmith's Red Snow, readers will discover that vampires aren't just a modern-day problem, and British military attaché Charle Keating, observing the battle on the eastern front from the Soviet side, will discover that, no matter how hard humanity tries to kill itself, something else does it better. Finally, Barrow may deal with yearly vampire assaults, but the entire Arctic Circle gets its share of polar night. What monsters lurk in this endless dark? Go Beyond Barrow, with Niles and superstar artist Bill Sienkiewicz (New Mutants). Collects four full volumes of the 30 Days of Night saga: Bloodsucker Tales, Eben & Stella, Red Snow, and Beyond Barrow.
Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith’s vampiric nightmare has been hailed as one of the scariest blood-sucker tales ever told. Now, all three softcover volumes of 30 Days of Night, Dark Days, and Return to Barrow are collected in this handsome slipcase, complete with a numbered tip-in plate signed by Niles and Templesmith.
