24th read: Fangs

This was a long & light breath of air on a stuffy day.

I love the waves of nostalgia that came from nowhere (how could I be nostalgic for characters I’ve never met?) but the vibe was similar to different comic strips I used to love as a preteen/teen.

SYNOPSIS

Elsie the vampire is three hundred years old, but in all that time, she has never met her match. This all changes one night in a bar when she meets Jimmy, a charming werewolf with a wry sense of humor and a fondness for running wild during the full moon. Together they enjoy horror films and scary novels, shady strolls, fine dining (though never with garlic), and a genuine fondness for each other’s unusual habits, macabre lifestyles, and monstrous appetites.

First featured as a webcomic series on Tapas, Fangs chronicles the humor, sweetness, and awkwardness of meeting someone perfectly suited to you but also vastly different. Filled with Sarah Andersen’s beautiful gothic illustrations and relatable relationship humor, Fangs has all the makings of a cult classic.

REVIEW

This was a sweet book. I was glad for its company during a rough day.

It was full of cliches and stereotypes (and shallow) but sometimes these things are hilarious. None of these situations are meant to be complex or taken seriously.

I read parts of it while doing pilates and other parts while doing chores.
