Death Threat | Vivek Shraya

Just as this panel says, artist Vivek Shraya began receiving disturbing letters from a person using their real name and address! Tired of the psychological turmoil the emails were causing her, she reaches out to Ness Lee to create this graphic memoir quoting the text from the emails she received.

A story about the internet, a death threat, comics and sexuality. It was based on a story and person I didn‘t know. The art wasn‘t my fav and felt a little hard to follow.

Not surprising since this is by the versatile, multi-talented artist Vivek Shraya, but this graphic memoir is completely unique and unlike anything I've read before. Shraya turns an experience of internet hate mail into a moving, complex short book with bright, evocative illustrations by Ness Lee. #QueerBooks #GraphicNovels

Just moved into a new shared house in a new city for a new job! I still have most of my books stored at my old place where my partner is still temporarily living, but these are the ones I brought with me so far. I haven't read any of these mostly #QueerBooks yet!

SW-T Congratulations! Best wishes on the new place and the new job. Hope your partner gets to join you soon so you can explore and learn your new city together. 🙂 5y
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian @SW-T Thank you! Yes, I'm excited for him to be here to explore together! 5y

Vivek Shraya is always worth a read, and her latest book, her first graphic novel, is no exception. The art is incredibly bold as well, and definitely makes it worth the short time it took me to read.

Oh so meta! Cartoonist Ness Lee hides her face at the launch of the book she and Vivek Shraya are each pictured holding, which is the book I‘m holding, which is the tagged book. The imagined launch takes place at Venus Envy, a woman-friendly sex toy shop. #trans #LGBTQ #graphicnovel

A brief true story of being stalked, told in comics with bright art by Ness Lee. Threats are often obscure—“put you in a separate mud hut”—& he even includes his name & address (changed for publication). After Shraya shared on social media that she would turn the whole scary episode into a book, the guy issued a cease & desist order that claimed using his emails infringed copyright. Powerful final pages hint at lingering trauma. #LGBTQ #Canadian
