Heartsick (2007) by Chelsea Cain

Heartsick is an easy read but an exciting one, too. A psychotic female serial killer whose beauty and mind could outpower the whole police department looking for her, a distressed detective whose life was one day turned upside down, a young journalist with a troubled past, and a new serial killer targeting high school girls.

Is Susan a stock character with her pink hair and daddy issues? Maybe. But it doesn't make her any less interesting. The same goes for Archie, whose pill addiction gets a little too much graphic detail but remains just believable enough for us to keep reading.

Considering how short the story is (my small paperback is just 420 pages), it truly takes talent to write believable, well-developed characters. Cain does it with heart and soul and leaves nothing useless behind. It’s one of those books that has exactly what it needs without excruciatingly painful internal monologues of characters you couldn’t care less about.

For thriller/crime genre fanatics, this is a must-read.

Get fierce! MANEATERS is a book not to be missed. to quote Chelsea Cain” I say: It’s a comic book series about a girl who thinks she might be a monster. It’s a social satire. It’s horror. It’s feline fan fiction. I say: It’s about female adolescence, in a world where menstruation turns girls into homicidal were-panthers. It’s about cats, and serial killers, and middle school, and daughters and dads, and divorce, and transformation. It’s about being the one telling the story. Look! Issue No. 1 is sooooooo glittery!” The first Tradepaperback volume is out now. Issues 5+6 are still on shelves. #maneaters #imagecomics #chelseacain #askmeaboutmyfeministagenda #comicsareforeveryone (at Worlds Collide) https://www.instagram.com/p/BumJKoEgRY6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=48fj2g1a5wia

➡️Maneaters #1 El otro dia comprando comicses en Salem encontré varias joyitas y aprovechando también compre un par de grapas para probar a ver que tal sabe maneaters. Y vaya no-sorpresa, está genial. Aunque debo decir que esta primera grapa me dejo un poco que ni si ni no. Peero debo decir que es que para que me enganche algo tan pequeño como una grapa tiene que ser mágica practicamente. De que esto de maneaters? Pues de mujeres que, cuando les viene la regla se conconvierten en gatos gigantes y se comen a los hombres(y a cualquiera en realidad). Asi que tenemos muchas referencias a la regla, a la higiene femenina, a la caca de gato y al feminismo mientras la trama policiaca se va desarrollando. Me recuerda un poco a bitch planet. Pero es que Chelsea Cain lo tiene clarisimo. Y lo cuenta de manera espectacular y muy valiente. Este es un cómic que habla de muchas cosas y desde luego no es un cómic para comicgaters. Solo por esto ya tiene mis dieces. #maneaters #chelseacain #kateniemczyk #rachellerosenberg #joecaramagna #liamiternique #imagecomics #instacomic #comic #comics #galthorcomics https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs8VvhLBfLN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qfefc2drf5lw

What’s this? A cosplay that is comfortable, easy to move in, and doesn’t overheat? BLASPHEMY. I’ve wanted this outfit since Joelle Jones’ cover of Chelsea Cain’s Mockingbird came out last year and I finally decided to just get the tshirt and do it. Bobbi is one of my favorite Marvel ladies because of her personality and it’s a shame no one has really captured it well enough to make her successful in the MCU because I think they could use more brazen, fun ladies. On top of that, I’m in bad need of comfy cosplays that I can wear in LA without getting heatstroke and I’m starting to feel comfortable enough to rock short shorts in public so it was time to dive back into Marvel hell! . #mockingbird #bobbimorse #joellejones #chelseacain #feministagenda #marvel #marvelcosplay #comics #cosplay
