Customer Reviews

Awesome Book!

I just want to start off by saying do not start this book unless you have plenty of time to finish it! This is the first book in a long time that I have actually read all the way through. I am very easily distracted and most books just do not have enough story to them to keep me interested. With this book once I started reading I could not put it down. I ended up staying up all night reading it. I was a little disappointed in the ending, but it also was because I did not want it to end. A great read for any fan of a horror/suspense.

Fantastic Novelization!

Wow, this book is truly spectacular. Although I haven't seen the film itself, Mr. Lebbon does a fantastic job bringing the people and the fear of being hunted to life. Though these aren't your classic vampires, they are terrifying nonetheless. I would recommend the novel to readers of vampire novels and fans of books based on graphic novel. PARTY ON, DUDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stands on its Own

Most movie novelizations are pretty b-novel material. They get second tier writers, and the writing is reminisicent of a romance novel. Not in this case. This book is suspenseful, well-written, and could easily stand on its own. I really can't wait to see the movie and read the graphic novels! As a side note, FINALLY someone has written about vampires that are bloody scary! Enough of the brooding, angst ridden vampire that's just misunderstood. These are not vampires that women will be dreaming about each night! These are the "real" thing! Bravo! Right up there with Vltraviolet (the BBC one).

Suspenseful!

Great book! Stayed up late finishing it. I am an avid reader and found this book to be more suspenseful than scary. Worth the few hours I lost in sleep. And I hope the movie is as good.

Seriously terrifying

This book scared the crap out of me. I'm talking the lying-awake-at-2am-thinking-I'm-hearing-something-rustling-under-my-bed-scared. I haven't been that freaked out by a book since Stephen King's "It". I read it in two days, and that's what kept me awake, wondering how they were going to get out of this remote Alaskan village without getting violently ripped to shreds. It was well-done and extremely descriptive. I hope they do well with the movie, but the book was vivid enough for me. Lebbon is a madman. Excellent book if you love horror.
