Alma Katsu calls \u003ci\u003eMy Heart Is a Chainsaw\u003c\/i\u003e a homage to slasher films that also manages to defy and transcend genre. On the surface is a story of murder in small-town America. But beneath is its beating heart: a biting critique of American colonialism, Indigenous displacement, and gentrification, and a heartbreaking portrait of a broken young girl who uses horror movies to cope with the horror of her own life. Jade Daniels is an angry, half-Indian outcast with an abusive father, an absent mother, and an entire town that wants nothing to do with her. She lives in her own world, a world in which protection comes from an unusual source: horror movies...\u003ci\u003eespecially\u003c\/i\u003e the ones where a masked killer seeks revenge on a world that wronged them. And Jade narrates the quirky history of Proofrock as if it is one of those movies. But when blood \u003ci\u003eactually\u003c\/i\u003e starts to spill into the waters of Indian Lake, she pulls us into her dizzying, encyclopedic mind of blood and masked murderers, and predicts exactly how the plot will unfold. Yet, even as Jade drags us into her dark fever dream, a surprising and intimate portrait emerges...a portrait of the scared and traumatized little girl beneath the Jason Voorhees mask: angry, yes, but also a girl who easily cries, fiercely loves, and desperately wants a home. A girl whose feelings are too big for her body. \u003ci\u003eMy Heart Is a Chainsaw\u003c\/i\u003e is her story, her homage to horror and revenge and triumph.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Graham Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1797123343\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781797123349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster Audio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.60h x 5.80w x 1.10d","brand":"Stephen Graham Jones","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44044357107967,"sku":"9781797123349","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5e9b13a9-d74c-4533-a1ee-fc1e0f4f5e24.jpg?v=1684972387","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/my-heart-is-a-chainsaw-stephen-graham-jones-9781797123349","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
