The Girl Must Die: A Monster Girl Memoir (Another Erika Lopez Thang)
"Rags-to-riches stories are a dime a dozen...What about rags-to-riches-and-back-to-rags story? If this topic feels relatable then The Girl Must Die should be the very next thing you read while everyone else is at work."--BUST Magazine"The Girl Must Dieis gorgeously illustrated, compulsively readable, and fiercely uncompromising...all the hallmarks of Lopez's earlier work, but there's a definite sense that the gloves are off." --The Rumpus.netLopez started writing and drawing again, and the result is her new memoir/manifesto for Monster Girls:The Girl Must Die.And she's back with another incredibly ferocious, dirty, cursing, kicking and screaming book.--PBS, "Need to Know""Summoning happy memories ofEasyriders Magazine,and less happy memories of throats caught hacking on pubes, cartoonist Erika Lopez wields a thick, endlessly impressive multimedia tome to launch the Monster Girl Movement." --LA Weekly"More manifesto than memoir. Lopez is longing for another cultural shift, for our entire society to go through a rite of passage. 'The girl must die,' she tells us, so that the woman can live."--Jessa Crispin, NPR
