Sarah Andersen

A love story between a vampire and a werewolf by the creator of the enormously popular Sarah's Scribbles comics. Vamp is three hundred years old but in all that time, she has never met her match. This all changes one night in a bar when she meets a charming werewolf. FANGS chronicles the humor, sweetness, and awkwardness of meeting someone perfectly suited to you but also vastly different.

Relatable, cute, short and sweet. The art style suits it so well!

Vamp, introduced at first with the allure of Theda Bara, has been looking for her match for three hundred years. The werewolf isn't suave but he's sweet and loyal. He's willing to adjust to her specific needs and sometimes gets belly rubs out of it.

It was so adorable! Why was it so short? I need more of these two. They were the most wholesome vampire girlfriend and werewolf boyfriend combo.

I love this book. This will be a good one to pull out and revisit anytime I need a little emotional boost. It's the sweetest story of a vampire and a werewolf in love.

Briar's Reviews

Fangs by Sarah Andersen is an absolutely adorable little graphic novel that is a must read for romance and fantasy readers.

I was pleasantly surprised and enchanted by this book! It was a great and adorable little read! It's quick and easy to read, and quite fun! The book gives off a slice of life vibe but from monsters, making it highly comedic yet super sweet.

Three out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing.

Super short but super sweet! The cover is absolutely gorgeous too, it’s a cloth covered hardback with black print and it’s just beautiful.

Okay the cover of this book is truly stunning. A really sweet graphic novel of a relationship between a vampire and a werewolf. Honestly, one star off because it’s extremely short - but that just means if it were longer it would be truly perfect. I can see myself coming back to it every fall!

Sarah Anderson is best known for her Sarah’s Scribbles web comics, where a big-eyed, spiky-haired version of herself deals with introversion, anxiety, and the vagaries of modern life in a humorous, relatable way. Those strips are the exact sort of thing that people love to share on social media. When I heard about her new book, Fangs, I was intrigued because it sounded so different from her oftentimes silly work in Sarah’s Scribbles.

However, it turns out that Fangs doesn’t go that far afield. I’d assumed that it was a longer story, but it’s actually a collection of another webcomic. Although the art style and main characters are very different from Sarah’s Scribbles, the strips in Fangs are still one-page slice-of-life jokes and observations.

The stars of the strips in Fangs are a couple: Elsie the vampire and Jimmy the werewolf. They meet, they do couple things, and sometimes there are jokes about vampires or werewolves. That’s it! There isn’t any kind of developing story or anything. Some of the strips are literally just a picture of them hanging out being a couple, drinking tea and reading.

I know there is a market for this sort of thing, of course. People love to write fan-fiction about their favorite characters falling in love and experiencing no trauma or strife whatsoever. This collection sort of feels like that concept distilled into comic form: what if a vampire and a werewolf dated, got really comfortable, loved each other, and there was absolutely no conflict or danger? Personally, I find that kind of boring.

Perhaps I would have been more forgiving of this collection if there was an overarching story, or if the individual strips were funnier. Instead, the best I can say about this book is that I like the art, and it was occasionally funny, maybe a quarter of the time. I think I read the whole thing in fifteen minutes, to be honest.

Fangs is one of those books where the more I thought about it, the less I liked it. I don’t think collecting these strips does them any favors. They just feel more insubstantial when you have them together in one place.

Full disclosure: I received a free review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This post was originally published at Full of Words.
