30 Days of Night, Vol. 1 by Steve Niles

4.0

---

An excellent graphic novel—quickly paced and gloriously violent. The artwork is nightmarish and yet oddly beautiful in its bleakness. It’s a quick, feverish, and sparse story with the same kind of restrained imagery. My only wish is that more aspects of the novel had been expanded. There is more plot here that could’ve been explored, but Niles chooses to put all of his focus into the bloody bits. As such, there’s not much there there. Regardless, it’s a fun, engaging, terrifying and action packed story that will surely resonate with fans of horror.
