Thirty Days of Darkness: This year's most chilling, twisty, darkly funny DEBUT thriller…

Product Information

The polar night is caused by the rotation of the earth in relation to the position of the sun. The earth rotates on a titled axis of around 23.5 degrees. As a result of this axial tilt, there are periods of the year where the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle are either completely exposed or obscured from the sun. When they are obscured it causes the prolonged darkness known as the polar night, while when they are exposed it creates a prolonged period of daylight known as the midnight sun. a good crime novel has three crucial components. One: a spectacular and violent opening, preferably a murder. Two: false leads and false suspects. […] Point three is surprises.’ Så hvis ikke det allerede er sket, så synes jeg Grønningen 1 skulle skynde sig at sælge rettighederne til udenlandske forlag. Og ellers markedsføre ‘Tredive dages mørke’ som den krimi-pastiche, den nu engang er. Så er jeg sikker på, at alle med et had/kærligheds-forhold til Nordic Noir, vil grine sig igennem romanen, ligesom jeg gjorde. Men dedikerede krimilæsere, der forventer et godt krimiplot og måske starten på en ny, dansk krimiserie, risikerer at blive skuffede, hvis ikke de lige er i stødet til en humoristisk vinkel på sagen.

This is a real treat. Witty, dark, meta, ingenious and hugely compelling. LOVED the Icelandic setting and satirical observations. EXCELLENT." - Will Dean De flap had me al meteen mee. Hannah, een auteur die wel erg zeker is van zichzelf, moet in dertig dagen een thriller schrijven - wat helemaal buiten haar comfort zone is maar ze sloot een weddenschap af met een collega auteur, Jorn, die ze verfoeid - en hoe kan het ook anders, stuit tijdens het schrijfproces op enkele geheimen. The protagonist (a raging alcoholic author) is terribly obnoxious and immature, she was so annoying it became comical. Not sure if this is what was intended as such. Wat ik wel een klein minpuntje vond waren de IJslandse zinnen die in het boek stonden en vervolgens geen vertaling kregen. Dit leidde me regelmatig af en haalde me een beetje uit het verhaal.

Whilst Hannah's initial snobbery about commercial fiction, and her temporary home in Iceland, is a little off putting, and she is not always the most likeable of characters, there is something about her that is compelling, and the banter between her and Jørn really does make for some great scenes. She is believable (and we've probably all seen similar literature snobs on social media) and Jenny Lund Madsen has done a brilliant job of creating a character who can infuriate and amuse within a few short lines. In spite of everything, there is a heart lurking (somewhere) under her cool exterior and, the occasional (frequent) misjudgement aside, she's actually the kind of person I enjoyed spending time with, and her enthusiasm for the mystery really came through in the narrative, drawing me deeper into the story. In fact, characters as a whole are brought to life brilliantly, painting a picture of the community and the various personalities that inhabit it, be they in heightened states of madness or grief. Om inspiratie op te doen reist ze naar Húsafjörður, een klein dorp in IJsland. Kort na haar aankomst wordt er een lichaam uit de zee gehaald. Het blijkt om een visserszoon te gaan. Het slachtoffer leed aan watervrees en het lijkt alsof er opzet in het spel is. Hannah wil dit als inspiratie gebruiken voor haar boek. Daniel Fienberg (April 13, 2006).

A bit tongue-in-cheekily, the reader is also informed, straight from the mouth of the massively popular crime author Hannah hates so much, that the main character in crime fiction shouldn’t be likeable because no one likes a likeable protagonist in crime. Which made me grin, as it felt like a little nudge from the author, telling me: you don’t like her very much, do you, no worries, you’re not meant to!” I've seen quiet a lot of vampire/zombie movies, and this one stands out to me, because even though it sometimes uses a bit of gore, that's not what makes it scary. A straight-to-DVD sequel entitled Dark Days was released on October 5, 2010. [30] The script for the sequel was written by Steve Niles and Ben Ketai with Ketai also positioned as director. When filming began on October 20, 2009, Rhys Coiro and Mia Kirshner were named as leads, with Kirshner playing the lead vampire villain Lilith. [31] Other cast named included Harold Perrineau, Kiele Sanchez, Diora Baird, Rhys Coiro, and Monique Ganderton. [32] Three days after filming began, Niles revealed that Kiele Sanchez replaced Melissa George in the role of Stella Oleson. [33] The sequel was produced on a lower budget, but being straight-to-video allowed the writers to more closely follow the comic book. [34] See also [ edit ] Tatiana Siegel (September 7, 2005).

Retrieved 2006-10-13.Jeg både elskede og hadede hovedpersonen, Hannah, der selvfølgelig er introvert alkoholiker med rod i privatlivet, fordi sådan en er der jo også næsten altid i skandinaviske krimier. Og jeg grinede ofte højt undervejs i min læsning. Som tog forbløffende kort tid, fordi bogen vitterligt er spændende skruet sammen. Blot synes jeg, at genrebetegnelsen ‘Krimi’, som står trykt på forsiden, risikerer at skuffe nogle læsere. I pressematerialet om bogen fra forlaget Grønningen 1, som også har været så venlige at stille et anmeldereksemplar til rådighed, står der, at romanen “byder på både krimi, komedie og drama”. Og det er meget mere rigtigt end blot ordet ‘Krimi’. When she expresses her contempt for genre fiction, Hanna is publicly challenged to write a crime novel in thirty days. Scared that she will lose face, she accepts, and her editor sends her to Húsafjöður – a quiet, tight-knit village in Iceland, filled with colorful local characters – for inspiration.

Maar 'dertig dagen duisternis' wist me toch te verrassen! Het verhaal gaat over Hannah een schrijfster die door een weddenschap een misdaadroman moet schrijven, iets waarvan zij denkt dat het totaal geen literatuur is. Hiervoor gaat ze naar ijsland om daar inspiratie op te doen. Maar dan wordt er een jongen vermoord en gebruikt ze deze zaak als inspiratie voor haar eigen boek. Uitendelijk begint ze zelf ook op zoek te gaan naar de moordenaar van de jongen en wordt ze zelf ook een doelwit. Dus door de lage verwachtigen vond ik dit boek dus wel verrassend goed en heb hem dan ook erg snel uitgelezen. Hierdoor krijgt ie van mij 4 sterren. The town of Barrow, Alaska (now Utqiaġvik), is preparing for its annual period of the winter with a month-long polar night. As the town gets ready, a stranger arrives from a large ship and sabotages the town's communications and transports. Barrow's sheriff, Eben Oleson, investigates and also learns that his estranged wife, Stella, missed the last plane out of town and must stay the 30 days. Days of Night is one of the few films I like that I can never understand why other people don't. Though I do prefer other movies like Revolver, Doomsday and Donnie Darko to it, with those I can always understand when people don't see in them what I do. With 30 Days of Night, if you don't have a problem with gore, then you shouldn't have a problem with the film. And yet I have personal friends as well as people I've heard from online who totally dig horror, gore, vampires etc. and yet don't like 30 Days of Night, which confuses me all to Hell, let me tell you.
