Chiller

Takes me back about 45 years to when I would listen to dark takes on the radio. Great sound effects.

It is a better graphic novel then book

I think it would have been better if it stayed just a graphic novel.

I never have read the comic/graphic novel version of this. I listened to the audiobook and I thought it couldn't make a difference, but I think in the end it does. It seems like this story relies on visual imagery that can't really be placed in audio.

The story itself is very short, easy to listen to and at the time was a bit ahead of other things like this in the genre. However now decades later it gets lost to stories that are better and more refined. This isn't on the author though, he did great.

The story itself is a simple thirty days in Barrow Alaska, vampires and a few survivors trying to make it out. I am curious with the sequels how they pan out, but this story itself is a good, self-contained vampire urban fantasy story that would fit in with White Wolf's gaming system.

Like I said, not a bad story, but you probably get further and enjoy it more if you read the comic/graphic novel.

Great story that needed some more depth!

The voice acting was great, the story was fun to follow, but it felt like there was a lot of story missing from this audio experience. Who were the people tracking the vampires? Who else exists in this #dark and #scary world? We got some back story on the couple, and that helped create a great form of emotional attachment, but I feel like we needed more depth on the people trying to get proof of the vampires. Maybe this is opening up for something more down the line. I could see this developing into a great series.

Like listening to a play

I've only seen the movie and haven't read the graphic novel. Listening to this was like listening to a live play. The voice acting is great and the sound effects were enough to really stimulate my imagination. I liked it much better than the movie, maybe because I could imagine the scenes better than they were portrayed in the movie. I wouldn't say this story was scary but it was entertaining for the majority of its run time. I definitely can't say the same for them movie which is almost twice as long. #TheBookIsBetter #AudiblePlay #Violent #Alaska #Vampires #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

great Halloween read

this book is very fast paced and fun to read around Halloween.

I grew to respect the characters and the vampires were terrifying and cruel.
