Freaks Anon (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692624937)

Collection notices. Disapproving looks. Sleeping in a van. Life's hard for a wannabe superhero. Things get harder still when Centurion's sidekick, Henry, dies.

The police say Henry's death was an accident. Centurion knows better. Henry's death is part of a larger pattern. Someone's murdering children--kids with extraordinary psychic and physical abilities--across the South and Midwest.

He needs to find the killer fast. In Chicago, his prime suspect has already set her sights on friends Astrid and Kim. But these teens aren't like anything he's ever seen. They're special. Like Henry.

Centurion will face spies, monsters, and the ultimate evil: the Chicago auto pound. If he doesn't watch out, he just might find he's the one in need of saving.

"Darst works his magic in horror once again, this time expanding into the realm of superheroes in an exciting mash-up that fans of both comic books and the paranormal are sure to enjoy!"

- Stuart Conover, ScienceFiction.com

"Being a huge Alan Moore fan, I'm always hoping to read something intelligent when it comes to superheroes. I crave material like that...and Freaks Anon nails it. It's a fanboy's dream."

- Frank Hrin, Fearshop.com

"As with Dead Things, Matt Darst has created another sublime world. Freaks Anon is a dark, weird fairy tale of monsters and heroes. Excellent."
