About the Author

Chelsea Cain is the New York Times bestselling author of Evil at Heart, Sweetheart, and Heartsick. Both Heartsick and Sweetheart were listed in Stephen King’s Top Ten Books of the Year in Entertainment Weekly. Chelsea lived the first few years of her life on an Iowa commune, then grew up in Bellingham, WA, where the infamous Green River killer was “the boogieman” of her youth. The true story of the Green River killer’s capture was the inspiration for the story of Gretchen and Archie.

Editorial Reviews

Cain and Niemczyk are remarkably inventive here, telling the story through traditional narrative comics and graphs and photorealistic effects and other wild experiments in visual narrative...Cain seems to inherently understand what it is that makes comics so great.” —The Seattle Review of Books

“Rachelle Rosenberg's colors help tie everything together, painting even the darker moments of the issue with eye-popping colors. Joe Caramagna's feels like the icing on the cake, going from clever and childlike whimsy to genuine terror with ease. As a whole, the visual aesthetic of Man-Eaters nails the nuance of being a teenage girl-facing the horrors of the world, but attempting to hang on to a sense of optimism in the process.” -Comicbook.com

“Cain has taken on the best of them and come out swinging because she's just that damn good.” -Geek.com

“Man-Eaters has a sharp sense of humor that fuels the book's momentum and makes it an especially fun read.” -The Onion's AV Club

“Cain and Niemczyk are remarkably inventive here, telling the story through traditional narrative comics and graphs and photorealistic effects and other wild experiments in visual narrative...Cain seems to inherently understand what it is that makes comics so great.” -The Seattle Review of Books

"I am so cuckoo for this book. It's so exciting, vital, funny, weird." -Ben Blacker, Thrilling Adventure Hour, Nerdist Writers Panel, Supernatural, Hex Wives
