Review
“NOTHING PERSONAL is quirky as hell; in fact, it goes beyond the realm of quirky into flat-out bizarre! It’s laugh-out-loud funny, wonderfully disgusting, viciously satirical, and though I have no way of knowing what books you’re reading this particular year, if you read NOTHING PERSONAL, it’s probably one of the most entertaining books you’ll read this year.” -- Jeff Strand, author of WOLF HUNT
Description
The harrowing account of Annabelle Hale's abduction and forced employment at Redd Incorporated. Here, for the first time uncensored, is the brutal tale of life in Thomas Reddmann's demented office known as "the Cubefarm". Soon to be released as a film, "Redd Inc." (see www.reddincthemovie.com), Annabelle's story is an unforgettable account of true office horror.
The author is a discontented burlesque webcam stripper who hates her boss and is trying to make a new start. She is abducted during one of her shows and ends up chained to a desk with five others in a macabre, horrific make-shift office. Their self-appointed "boss" is escaped serial killer Thomas Reddmann (Redd), demented from experimental behaviour modification treatment. He requires Annabelle and his other "workers", who were all participants in his trial, to find the true serial killer... or die horribly.
We follow Annabelle's "doom blog" as she describes her ordeal in graphic detail. We read how she was trapped in a world of pain, impossible expectations and the ever present prospect of a grisly end. With an officious and vicious management style, Redd forces her and his "staff" to uncover the truth for the vengeance he seeks. Annabelle recalls the true terror she experienced in Nothing Personal. NOT for the faint-hearted.
Nothing Personal eBook Anthony O'Connor Annabelle Hale
With a slightly meta-fictional nod, author Anthony O'Connor humbly rides shotgun to the imaginary Annabelle Hale's harrowing recount of torture and trauma at the hands of a madman. Moments into the introduction you know you're in for a humorously sick - and slick - ride.O'Connor's novel is more than an ode to torture porn, however, having seemingly (and thankfully) arrived at the tail end of that nauseatingly fad-happy sub-genre. Nothing Personal is undeniably funny - laugh out loud at times. The prose style replete with pop culture references and ingeniously placed horror movie tidbits.
At times, the prose is so clever, it pulls you out of the story just to simply admire it. On occasion, the protagonist's stream-of-consciousness seems distractingly out of place. This is often intentional, however. Mostly, the writing is so slick, it's as if O'Connor recorded Tarantino in a fever dream.
The plot? A whodunnit, of sorts. Annabelle Hale is a webcam stripper dreaming of better things. Having been a witness to a bloody murder spree, she is instrumental in the incarceration of the killer. But did she get the right guy? And why is she now bound to an office computer alongside a variety of victims, with an axe-wielding maniac lurking in the shadows? Who'd have thought trying to better yourself would be so bloody hard?
Needless to say, the blood will flow and the gore-junkies out there will undeniably agree that O'Connor loves his job. O'Connor is a self-confessed gore-hound, and he doesn't disappoint when it is time for the meat and claret to flow... and spray, and coagulate, and decompose. When can you remember the last time you read a scene in which your main character is forced to watch a man ingest his own intestines?
There are times in which the story seems slightly fractured. We never discover enough about Redd as we'd like to, and the connection between a sinister lab experiment and Redd's med treatment in hospital is only hinted at. The sexual tension between Hale and William is believable, until later in the story when they start to physically express it, despite the mind-bending violence around them. Sex and death, I guess. The filing cabinet is a nice touch, too. An effective axe-wielding maniac needs to be organised, after all.
The climax is a beautifully crafted, adoring French-kiss to Stephen King. All that is missing is a "Heeeere's Johnny!" (I won't spoil it!)
Overall, an exciting, page-turning thriller, with amazing moments of brutality (both realistic and cartoonish) and humour. A very promising start for a fresh, new author in the genre. Definitely worth a read for O'Connor's cheeky prose style alone.

Nothing Personal eBook Anthony O'Connor Annabelle Hale Reviews
If you like your suspense/thriller/psycho/horror spiced with a dash of irony and a few sprinkles of puns this is the book for you. It's about to be released as a movie (see [...]) which should be pretty cool!
Clever, made me laugh. Excellent psycho gore. Curious to read after following this movie's website. Told mainly in first person perspective, the story and mainly bizarre office setting made for an easy read. Great central character, Redd, he is a real freak!
