American Monsters by Sezín Koehler
Meet Dentata and her friends, a group of ravers with trauma-related superpowers, who join forces against common foes. A bit of True Blood and Heroes meets Geek Love, with lots more thrown in for the discerning horror fan. Rated R for extreme violence, drug use and strong language. The year 2000. Los Angeles: Volume One of AMERICAN MONSTERS introduces us to a set of super-heroines, most of whose powers are a result of horrific traumas. Volume Two, in the guise of a horror movie, shows all the women in action as well as a number of super-villains who get their long overdue comeuppance at a Halloween, full-moon rave in a Hollywood Hills mansion. Drugs, madness and mayhem ensue. And then some. TRIVIA: Each and every character is based on a social theory of horror, psychology, anthropology, sociology, literary criticism, film theory and many more. For the inquisitive reader a full list of inspirations follows the unusual narrative.
