Book Description
Go deeper into the night with this continuation of the vampire tale that put horror comics back on the map! Series creators Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith, joined by a cast of all-star comics talent, bring you multiple stories of blood and darkness. First, it's two stories for the price of one in Bloodsucker Tales. Kody Chamberlain provides art for Steve Niles' story, "Dead Billy Dead," in which a young man is turned into a vampire only to be abducted, along with his girlfriend, by an obssesive scientist. Then, superstar writer Matt Fraction (Sex Criminals) gets the Templesmith treatment with "Juarez," in which Lex Nova investigates the disappearances of hundreds of girls in a Mexican border town. He suspects vampire involvement. Unfortunately, an entire tribe of territorial vampires thinks the same thing. In Eben & Stella, find out what happened to the heroes of Barrow after the end of Dark Days, and before their appearance in Return to Barrow. Featuring Kelly Sue DeConnick (Bitch Planet) and Justin Randall (Changing Ways). In Templesmith's Red Snow, readers will discover that vampires aren't just a modern-day problem, and British military attaché Charle Keating, observing the battle on the eastern front from the Soviet side, will discover that, no matter how hard humanity tries to kill itself, something else does it better. Finally, Barrow may deal with yearly vampire assaults, but the entire Arctic Circle gets its share of polar night. What monsters lurk in this endless dark? Go Beyond Barrow, with Niles and superstar artist Bill Sienkiewicz (New Mutants). Collects four full volumes of the 30 Days of Night saga: Bloodsucker Tales, Eben & Stella, Red Snow, and Beyond Barrow.

Book Description
Günter Koschorrek wrote his illicit diary on any scraps of paper he could lay his hands on, storing them with his mother on infrequent trips home on leave. The diary went missing, and it was not until he was reunited with his daughter in America some forty years later that it came to light and became Blood Red Snow. The authors excitement at the first encounter with the enemy in the Russian Steppe is obvious. Later, the horror and confusion of fighting in the streets of Stalingrad are brought to life by his descriptions of the others in his unit their differing manners and techniques for dealing with the squalor and death. He is also posted to Romania and Italy, assignments he remembers fondly compared to his time on the Eastern Front. This book stands as a memorial to the huge numbers on both sides who did not survive and is, some six decades later, the fulfilment of a responsibility the author feels to honour the memory of those who perished.

Book Description
There never was a story that was happy through and through. When writer Arthur Ransome leaves his unhappy marriage in England and moves to Russia to work as a journalist, he has little idea of the violent revolution about to erupt. Unwittingly, he finds himself at its center, tapped by the British to report back on the Bolsheviks even as he becomes dangerously, romantically entangled with Trotsky's personal secretary. Both sides seek to use Arthur to gather and relay information for their own purposes . . . and both grow to suspect him of being a double agent. Arthur wants only to elope far from conflict with his beloved, but her Russian ties make leaving the country nearly impossible. And the more Arthur resists becoming a pawn, the more entrenched in the game he seems to become. Blood Red Snow White, a Soviet-era thriller from renowned author Marcus Sedgwick, is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats. This title has Common Core connections.

Book Description
In this seasonal treasure, Newbery Medalist Susan Cooper’s beloved poem heralds the winter solstice, illuminated by Caldecott Honoree Carson Ellis’s strikingly resonant illustrations. So the shortest day came, and the year died . . . As the sun set on the shortest day of the year, early people would gather to prepare for the long night ahead. They built fires and lit candles. They played music, bringing their own light to the darkness, while wondering if the sun would ever rise again. Written for a theatrical production that has become a ritual in itself, Susan Cooper’s poem "The Shortest Day" captures the magic behind the returning of the light, the yearning for traditions that connect us with generations that have gone before — and the hope for peace that we carry into the future. Richly illustrated by Carson Ellis with a universality that spans the centuries, this beautiful book evokes the joy and community found in the ongoing mystery of life when we celebrate light, thankfulness, and festivity at a time of rebirth. Welcome Yule!
