30 Days of Night: Bloodsucker Tales

The original 30 Days of Night focused on Barrow, Alaska, and the extra nasty horrors vampires are capable of when the winter nights can last a month. In this latest spin–off, which begins with two separate story–arcs, the locations may have changed, but the monsters remain the same:

In “Dead Billy Dead,” a lonely vampire seeks a replacement for his longtime companion, who got himself killed (re–killed?) in, you guessed it, Barrow. Of course, Billy isn’t too thrilled about becoming a vampire. Naturally, he’s going to learn things can always get worse…

In “Juarez,” the self–narrating detective Lex Nova travels to a small town in Mexico to investigate reports of 400 dead girls. What he finds is the Zero Family Circus, a psycho–maniacal group of vampires whose macabre actions make the average vampire look about as bad as a jaywalker.
