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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYet, 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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStephen Graham Jones\u003c\/strong\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Only Good Indians\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMy Heart Is a Chainsaw\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eI Was a Teenage Slasher\u003c\/i\u003e.
