I would love to read these two books, and though it might make me frustrated that the series goes into standstill after they are over, I am sure that I would be highly entertained by them. I am also sure that they would make a tremendous impact. I am listing them in my wish list, and will see when I can get to them.

I really need to get volume two. I just loved how Love took all of the racist ideas and characters and incorporated them into the story (Jim Crow, the Golliwog, etc. etc.)... it was just so clever.

So nothing has been done since then :-(<br /><br />You are so right- the evil in these books is so pervasive and horrifying.

In retrospect, I remember them as being a horror story with a lot of strong, beautiful parts--the evil is just so powerful and pervasive and terrifying that I think it's what stuck with me. <br /><br />Also, I don't know when the next collected volume will come out, but if you're dying for more, the individual issues are available online (ie. to read on your computer) at comixology.com for $0.99 each. Everything I've read says that the first two collections are each four chapters, meaning 9 should be the next one, but looking at the blurb I swear I've read 9, so I'm not sure where it leaves off. Anyway, in case anyone is that impatient!LibraryHungryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01981967495068772927noreply@blogger.com
