Description
Chicago cartoonist and educator Beth Hetland’s graphic novel debut is a brilliant psychological thriller that tears down the wall of a genre — body horror — so often identified with male creators. Heady and visceral, Tender uses horrific tropes to confront women’s societal expectations of self-sacrifice despite those traditional roles often coming at the expense of female sexuality and empowerment.
Advance Praise
"There is a powerful, visceral quality to Hetland’s cartooning. There is an intimacy here… and she's bold in expressing vulnerability." — Rob Clough
"An incredibly paced horror story that's equal parts sardonic, gruesome, and tender. A Jeanne Dielman for the Instagram generation." — Katie Skelly
