The physical book itself is beautiful too, wrapped in blood red cloth with an embossed picture of Elsie on the front, it’s a pleasure to hold and read. I enjoyed all the references to popular paranormal beliefs and material. Andersen takes pretty much every typical vampire and werewolf trope and makes it a joke in here about it. I adored the little glimpses into Elsie and Jimmy’s day to day life, which walks us through their rather unusual relationship. Writing/Drawing Style (5/5): The drawing in here is very well done and typical of Andersen’s normal artwork, I do feel like this is a bit more refined than her “Sarah’s Scribbles” comic was. Nothing special but very well drawn and easy to follow. Setting (4/5): A lot of this takes place in the characters houses or out walking around their neighborhood. They are two irresistible characters with a bit of a darkly humorous streak to them.
Jimmy is your typical werewolf he loves his raw meat, can’t resist chasing squirrels, loves to be scratched behind the ears, and adores Elsie. My husband and I then sat down and re-read it together and he enjoyed it too.Ĭharacters (5/5): The two main characters are well done Elsie is just your normal everyday 300 year old vampire…she loves blood, violence, dark rooms and Jimmy. I liked it a lot and found myself laughing out loud many times. It’s cute, darkly humorous, and very well done. These are just little one page comics that give a humorous glimpse into their relationship and day to day lives together. Jimmy is a werewolf in a similar position. Elsie is a three hundred year old vampire who is looking for companionship and someone who will just let her be herself. Story (5/5): This gives you a glimpse into the lives of Elsie and Jimmy. Series Info/Source: This is a stand alone book that I borrowed from the library. Filled with Sarah Andersen’s beautiful gothic illustrations and relatable relationship humor, Fangs has all the makings of a cult classic.”
