Dit boek heeft me wel verrast, door het aantal sterren dat het hier op goodreads kreeg had ik niet al te hoge verwachtigen. What's important to note is that the story does not go into too much detail about the leading characters personal lives, nor does it go into too much detail about the vampires themselves. After telling Jennifer to leave, the three hunters stow away on the ship where they discover that they can be resurrected after death if they are fed human blood. I started it one evening, trying it on for size, and found I was already 21% in when I first came up for air. Not all latitudes are situated north enough to experience sustained total darkness; instead their brightest moments are levels of polar twilight that occur in the early afternoon before evening approaches and the darkness intensifies.

The town of Barrow, Alaska (now Utqiaġvik), is preparing for its annual period of the winter with a month-long polar night. Translated by Megan E Turney —From Ruth Galloway to Eve Ronin, if there’s one thing readers can’t complain about in recent years it’s a lack of strong female protagonists in crime novels. Whilst Hannah's initial snobbery about commercial fiction, and her temporary home in Iceland, is a little off putting, and she is not always the most likeable of characters, there is something about her that is compelling, and the banter between her and Jørn really does make for some great scenes.

Firstly you have Josh Hartnett (Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, The Faculty, The Virgin Suicides, Hollywood Homicide, Sin City, The Wrong Man, Resurrecting the Champ, Singularity) as Sheriff Eben, protagonist, secondly you have Danny Huston (21 Grams, The Proposition, The Constant Gardner, Children of Men, The Number 23, The Kingdom, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Clash of the Titans, The Warrior's Way, Robin Hood [2010]) as Marlow (above centre), leader of the vampires, who attack Alaska during the winter period of 30 days without sun (which in and of itself is an awesome concept, and thirdly there's Ben Foster (The Punisher, X-Men: The Last Stand, 3:10 to Yuma, Pandorum, The Mechanic) as the vampire's human lapdog, all of whom are personal favourites of mine. The following day, the four hunters enter a vampire orgy nest, only to be ambushed by a group of them. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is no longer the Lisbeth Salander we were introduced to 18 years ago in Stieg Larsson’s first Millennium novel. Sue Binder, the business manager of Ghost House Pictures, indicated that filming for 30 Days of Night was still at least a year away, as Ghost House planned to produce three films before the vampire thriller. Realizing Stella is trapped and that he cannot beat the vampires in his current state, Eben injects himself with Billy's blood.I can’t really put my finger on it but whatever it is, it works, and it makes for a very accomplished debut! Although they try to avoid one another, when Eben confronts The Stranger in the town diner, she helps subdue him and take him to the station house.

At gunpoint, they confront the human captain who says he is cooperating because the vampires had threatened his family.Stella manages to free herself when they are alone with Norris and kills him, but they are subsequently attacked by Lilith when attempting to sabotage the ship and Paul is killed. I pressematerialet om bogen fra forlaget Grønningen 1, som også har været så venlige at stille et anmeldereksemplar til rådighed, står der, at romanen “byder på både krimi, komedie og drama”. I romanen mødet vi Hannah, en skriveblokeret, bitter og lettere alkoholiseret forfatter til smal skønlitteratur med lave salgstal, som på Bogforum udfordrer sig selv til at skrive (endnu) en klichéfyldt krimi for at bevise, hvor nemt det er - og måske også for at vise, hvor dygtig Hannah selv er. The body of Thor, the only child of a local fisherman, is discovered floating in the harbour by his father. That premise being, vampires being allowed to run amok freely in Alaska during a 30 day period when there is no sun to force them into hibernation during the day.
