30 Days of Night Review (Steve Niles, Ben Templesmith)


This is one of those books where I know the author isn’t very good but the title is so well known at this point that I feel obligated to read it as a fan of the comics medium. At least 30 Days of Night is short!

Vampires invade the small Alaskan town of Barrow which goes for weeks without any sunlight - hey, perfect for vamps, eh? The townsfolk and the vamps tangle, and that’s that.

Paper-thin characters, barely any plot, unengaging dialogue, no pacing, crap art: this thing is the whole package if that package is a garbage book!

30 Days of Night is a plain terrible comic, horror or otherwise - an instantly forgettable, boring load of rubbish. If you take nothing else away from this review it’s to stay away from any books with Steve Niles’ name on the cover, famous title or not!
