IDW's 30 DAYS OF NIGHT

30 DAYS OF NIGHT, a three-issue mini-series written by Steve Niles and illustrated by Ben Templesmith, is set to begin in June from IDW Publishing.



Here's how the book is described:



"Have you imagined living in total darkness? They have... In the sleepy, secluded Alaska town of Barrow, the sun sets and doesn't rise for over thirty consecutive days and nights. From the darkness, across the frozen wasteland, an evil will come that will bring the residents of Barrow to their knees. The only hope for the town is the Sheriff and Deputy, a husband and wife who are torn between their own survival and saving the town they love."



"Ben's art is dark and yet so inviting. He's willing to try anything and he likes to push boundaries which suits 30 DAYS OF NIGHT perfectly," Niles says. "It's a story about true love, extreme terror and violence. There's no room for wishy-washy art or storytelling. I think Ben pulls the whole thing together perfectly. I haven't felt this way since those early Clive Barker books and horror anthologies."



"Steve's worked with some of the masters of horror," says Ted Adams, IDW's Publisher. "With this mini-series, he has the chance to show everyone what he's learned."



Covers are by Ashley Wood.
