30 Days of Night Deluxe Edition: Book Four

Revisit the vampire tale that kick-started a modern horror comics revival in this fourth collected deluxe edition that features three graphic novels.

A town plunged into darkness, a group of vampires hungry for blood, and only a husband-and-wife sheriff’s team to stop them. This premise set the stage for an iconic horror franchise that went on to become a feature-length film from Sony Pictures in 2007. Book four collects 30 Days ’Til Death, Night Again, and the 2018 30 Days of Night series!

The horrible events of Barrow have rippled throughout the world. In 30 Days ’Til Death by David Lapham, a war has started in the secret society of vampires. A death squad of elders has come to America to “thin the herd” of the troublesome new breed.

Fleeing the site of a secondary vampire infestation in the cold wilds of Alaska, a band of survivors arrive at a climate-change facility during the final days of a long period of extended daylight. The inhabitants of the research compound are trying to determine the nature of a strange object found in the ice when the survivors arrive, leading to a frightening and bloody confrontation between humans and vampires in Night Again by Joe R. Lansdale and Sam Kieth.

As the sun sets over an isolated Alaskan township—not to rise again for a month—a new evil emerges from the shadows to terrorize the town. But after a series of strange events and horrific killings, the question becomes…What lurks in the shadows? 30 Days of Night is reborn in an all-new reimagining of the series designed to titillate the mind and horrify the senses by co-creator Steve Niles and Piotr Kowalski.
