The high-concept thriller with a supernatural edge from the world-famous director, whose films include Pan’s Labyrinth and Hellboy. A plane lands at JFK and mysteriously ‘goes dark’, stopping in the middle of the runway for no apparent reason, all lights off, all doors sealed. The pilots cannot be raised.
When the hatch above the wing finally clicks open, it quickly becomes clear that everyone on board is dead – although there is no sign of any trauma or struggle. Ephraim Goodweather and his team from the Center for Disease Control must work quickly to establish the cause of this strange occurrence before panic spreads.
The first thing they discover is that four of the victims are actually still alive. But that’s the only good news. And when all two hundred corpses disappear from various morgues around the city on the same night, things very rapidly get worse. Soon Eph and a small band of helpers will find themselves battling to protect not only their own loved ones, but the whole city, against an ancient threat to humanity.
Perfect for fans of Dean Koontz’s The Eyes of Darkness

Blev fanget ret hurtigt af bogen, den er skrevet og fortalt så godt, at jeg kan se det hele for mig, som en film. Oplæseren gør det rigtig godt både med stemmer og lyde.En ting jeg dog ikke kunne vænne mig til, var stemningsmusikken når et nyt afsnit kom, det gav mig et chok hver gang 😁

Fuldt på højde med TV serien, om end ikke endnu bedre. Historien er lidt anderledes, men med flere detaljer. Kan klart anbefales til fans af TV serien, eller blot gyserfans.
