\nHis most recent novel\, My Heart is a Chainsaw\, \;follows J ade Daniels\, "an angry\, half-Indian outcast with a deadbeat 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&hellip\;especially \;the ones where a masked ki ller seeks revenge on a world that wronged them. And Jade narrates the qui rky history of Proofrock as if it is one of those movies. But when blood&n bsp\;actually \;starts to spill into the waters of Indian Lake\, she p ulls us into her dizzying\, encyclopedic mind of blood and masked murderer s\, and predicts exactly how the plot will unfold.
\n"Yet\, even as Jade drags us into her dark fever dream\, a surprising and intimate portra it emerges&hellip\; a portrait of the scared and traumatized little girl b eneath the Jason Voorhees mask: angry\, yes\, but also a girl who easily c ries\, fiercely loves\, and desperately wants a home. A girl whose feeling s are too big for her body.
\n"My Heart Is a Chainsaw \ ;is her story\, her homage to horror and revenge and triumph."
