The Complete 30 Days of Night: Trilogy

This IDW collection gathers the core "30 Days of Night" saga—the original horror epic that stranded an Alaskan town in a month of polar night, only to find vampires had been waiting for it—along with its two sequels, "Dark Days" and "Return to Barrow." Published in 2007, this single-volume edition compiles the work of writer Steve Niles and artist Ben Templesmith, whose stark, shadow-drenched visuals defined the series' chilling atmosphere. It matters as the definitive way to experience the complete story that revitalized vampire horror in comics.
