About this deal

Jørn revels in tormenting Hannah and it makes for entertaining reading. In the heat of the moment Hannah proclaims that any idiot can write a book and paints herself into a corner. Within a month, she has to complete a crime novel, and she will learn that it’s not quite as easy as she thinks. Hello, I am Hayley and I run Lotus Writing Therapy and The Lotus Readers blog. I am a counsellor, workshop facilitator and avid reader. Thirty Days of Darkness is a brilliant début and Jenny Lund Madsen is a breath of fresh air on the crime novel scene,” said Hersi Smith. “We cannot wait for Orenda Books to introduce English-speaking readers to this darkly funny and deeply original Nordic Noir.”

A big thank you to translator Megan Turney who has brought the author's words to life, capturing all subtle touches and the the highs, lows, laughter and grief that infuse the story. Without you, I wouldn't know what a fabulous book this is.Days of Night is a 2007 American action horror film based on the comic book miniseries of the same name. The film was directed by David Slade and stars Josh Hartnett and Melissa George. The story focuses on an Alaskan town beset by vampires as it enters into a 30-day-long polar night. My love for "trapped in the arctic" horror really started with John Carpenter's The Thing. I love the snow and skiing, bundling up for that sudden blast of cold as you leave your very comfortable and toasty "temporary" abode. I think these type of movies turn that environment on its head, taking away those comforts and then having something terrifying outside to worry about. Hannah involverer sig i efterforskningen, samtidig med at hun skriver på sin krimi. Inden længe dukker succesforfatteren Jønke også op, der er lidt af en fætter Højben type. En ugelang snestorm hærger, den vilde jagt går og mistænkte og dramatiske begivenheder fletter sig ind og ud ad hinanden. Hannah opklarer begivenhederne, får skrevet sin krimi, modtager folkets hyldest og i kulissen venter hendes nye veninde.

Bastian sends her up to Iceland to a small town of Húsafjörður, where she stays with a local woman, Ella.Barrow, Alaska, a small town on the Arctic circle, is preparing for its annual "30 days of night," a period during the winter when the sun will not be seen. People who don't want to suffer the extended darkness leave for Fairbanks or other parts south. As the town gets ready, The Stranger [ Ben Foster], rows ashore from a larger ship, then trudges towards Barrow. Once he arrives, he sets about sabotaging the town. He steals and destroys all the cell phones, destroys the town's only helicopter and kills all of the sled dogs. Dark and atmospheric … a bleak and beautiful evocation of Iceland, and Hannah is a pitch-perfect depiction of the bombastic neurosis that we writers know so very well’Harriet Tyce Ace MacDonald (October 14, 2002). "Horror is October Month". Comicon.com. Archived from the original on September 26, 2007 . Retrieved October 13, 2006. At first, I didn’t get along very well with Hannah. She seemed to have both low self esteem and a superiority complex. She writes Literature, don’t you know. Which is infinitely better than popular genres for the masses, obviously. Hate is too strong a word but it was definitely dislike at first sight. However, as the story progressed, I warmed to her, and I also feel like she makes a huge character arc throughout the book.
