I get sent a lot of books to review and most don't impress. It's rare that I would finish a book, even a book I would give a favorable review to, and feel that I would purchase that book with my hard-earned cash if it wasn’t sent to me. Rare but not impossible.
After reading ADV's Anne Freaks my first thought wasn't about writing a review. I was wondering when the next volume would come out. The book features tales of murder and other assorted violence that's both very humanistic and nihilistic. It's the kind of thing I've been waiting on for a very long time.
When I read James Cain's Double Indemnity the parts I enjoyed the most was when we got to see Walter Neff's psychology behind his story of an average man turned killer. I loved reading the revulsion he felt when crossed the line into the world of crime. Now imagine if James Cain used all his talents of characterization and sensationalism and used them to write about Japanese school children. Japanese school children who then form an anti-terrorist outfit. That gives you a taste of Anne Freaks. It's weird as Hell but that just makes it all the more fun. It comes out this Wednesday.
