email from freak: the transcripts as compiled by Halberd James Poel

by Jeffrey James Davidson

email from the transcripts as compiled by Halberd James Poel is the story of a strange e-relationship as told by the participants. It begins with a woman receiving a mysterious email detailing violence and murder. The recipient knows nothing of this 'freak'; nothing of his life or the crimes he claims to have committed. As she attempts to discover the truth, she becomes both captivated and disgusted by the inner workings of his torment. All does not end well for either of them. Halberd James Poel investigates to find the real truth in this sordid affair by presenting her notes, freak's email, and the investigation that followed.

Kept reading about this book on the Canada Reads 2011 site and was very curious to read it. Couldn't find it locally or at the big box stores but finally tracked it down at lulu.com and ordered the .pdf for $6.00. Best book bargain I've had in quite awhile!

This was a super fast whirlwind reading experience. I'm going to have to go back and read it again just to try and figure out a few points, like oh, who was really the victim and who the villian. Amazing amount of feeling and emotion in such a short book and also a fair number of points that made me actively squirm in my seat in discomfort.

Oh, and I missed my bus stop on the way to and from work yesterday because I was so immersed in the story.
