Stephen Graham Jones could write Beverly Marsh but Stephen King WISHES he could write Jade Daniels

Truly gonna have to make a post promoting/begging people to read the Indian Lake Trilogy when I've finished the final book, aren't I? Not enough (read: basically zero) people have read this book and they NEED to GOD I am DYING over here

[jellyfishjuliet]

one thing i appreciate with 'my heart is a chainsaw' is how realistic the protagonist is, cuz yeah, at seventeen you're the dumbest bitch on the planet but u think ur oh so smart thinking u can just witness a tragedy and not really be a part of it bc your too mentally ill and fucked up to recognize that not everything's about you. and it's refreshing as heck bc them basic ass protags is so fucking boring, but not my niece jade. she's so fucking mentally ill and stupid that she doesn't even realize she's crushing on her final girl. dumb ass bitch (affectionate)

Do you ship it?

[incorrectindianlake]

Jade: Just trust me. Have I ever put you in an unsafe or uncomfortable situation?

Letha: All the time.

Jade: Then you should be used to it by now.

[risingphoenix-nowreading]

So I've been reading these books

[lucyfrostblade]

I need I was a Teenage Slasher by Stephen Graham Jones to be released yesterday. I cannot explain how excited i am for that book

[peerless-cucumber]

has anyone else read stephen graham jones don't fear the reaper yet

[tweetsongs]

the idea of jade and letha having a familial relationship is so funny when jade canonically stares at letha being like 'haha wouldn't it be crazy if she kissed me right now...unless...'

Propaganda:

Margaret: Her log has something to tell you. She's also flipping your light switch on and off.

stephen graham jones I want this DESPERATELY: a certain former teenage slasher seeks out a certain former final girl slash high school history teacher to finally end him

[brightbeautifulthings]

I used to be all about the final girl standing on top of a pile of the dead at the end of the movie, her face dripping blood, her chest heaving, her eyes fierce. Now I'm all about holding the door of the slasher-proof shelter open, so everybody can duck in, ride this out.

the other thing im enjoying about my heart is a chainsaw is how blatantly jade is transferring her trauma onto letha, despite letha being her perfect final girl. and why wouldn’t she? no one else in her town’s punishing her father’s pedophile bestie. why wouldn’t she rely on a vengeful serial killer to make amends for her when her own parents seem to care so little for her? i still don’t think jade is the killer like our kid in night of the mannequins, but i do think that whoever killed those foreign exchange students is willfully tapping into jade’s hatred of her town to then use her as a conduit for all the killings.
