Wired Magazine calls these books a delicious nightmare and they are not wrong. There is something distinctly delicious about the nightmares these books spin. Nd terribly addictive.
I loved book one and was eagerly awaiting the next installment and it didn’t disappoint. The adventures of the mysterious black barn and people obsessed with it and affected by it continues, this time revealing more about the barn’s origins, but the answers to questions ratio is still tantalizingly off. It’s the sort of story that revels a few of its secrets to you and then asks you to stay put promising more. A tease, but a gorgeous one. Literally. Well drawn out and well drawn. There are still revolutionary things being done with panel arrangements. I love it. And yes, objectively, the wow factor is somewhat reduced the second time around, which is just pure psychology (the freshness of that first itada moment just isn't the same), but it's still so very good. Now it’s back to waiting, since the library only got the first two volumes so far for some reason. Waiting and hoping and wishing and dreaming…of delicious nightmares. Excellent and terrifying, read if you dare. Recommended.
