One! Hundred! Demons! Lynda Barry
Publisher: Sasquatch Books

She also agreed to have one hundred of her children die every day. One Hundred Demons by Lynda Barry Where I got it and why: When I went into the library to pick up some holds, this was sitting on the display table, part of a display of Alex Award-winning books. A big thanks to Aeron Alfrey (who I know only via the Comics Journal messageboard) for adding my (Almost) One Hundred Demons project/minicomic to his great MONSTER BRAINS blog. But here's a twist to the story: Glass wasn't always a loving, supportive boyfriend. It is soon about to be that time of year in the Capitol--the Festival for the Night of Thousand Hundred Demons. Accordingly, every day one hundred demons perish, and for the same reason, we write the angels' names on the amulets of young children. These demons are known as the Lilin. I thought that the excerpt from this graphic novel had a very subtle theme underneath it. Man, you gotta love the internet! I recently discovered this quote and the moment I saw it, I directly made the connection to the graphic novel that we were reading in our English class, One! Cartoonist Lynda Barry told the story of their doomed relationship in her 2002 graphic memoir One! There, she engaged in intercourse with demons, giving birth to one hundred demons a day. Isn't it great when a book not only entertains you but sparks your interest enough that you seek out more information on the subject? I liked the fact that you had to think over the story to really get the true meaning the author had when she had written it. We will be known forever by the tracks we leave.
