Scott Pilgrim and Wednesday combine into a teenaged Fleabag in DYING INSIDE, a supernatural, emo-fantasy thriller from the minds of FALL OUT BOY’s Pete Wentz, Hannah Klein, and Lisa Sterle!Immortality is entirely overrated. From Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, Hannah Klein (Everything’s Fine), and Lisa Sterle (The Modern Witch Tarot, Witchblood) comes the graphic novel about a chronically depressed girl who’s tired of fighting for her…death. Today is Ash’s big finale. And by finale, of course, she means exiting the stage permanently. Ash is a sixteen-year-old girl with more angst than Ian Curtis and Elliott Smith combined (her two idols). She’s apathetic and therefore believes death is the easiest route to relief. But nothing is more embarrassing than a lame death. Unfortunately, her meticulous plans — which include the perfect outfit, soundtrack, and method — are all ruined when the beautiful knife she buys off a webstore turns out to be charmed with a protection spell. Now, Ash has to track down the witch who turned her clocking out attempt into the worst gift imaginable: immortality. Turns out, the witch responsible is another sixteen-year-old-girl named (get this) Liv. The two vow to undo the charm together and fight for Ash’s death…even as things get increasingly entangled with a strange new antidepressant called Somnia and her mom’s gross boyfriend, Greg.

In this short read graphic novel, you will go on a journey to a humorous, dystopian, world full of social topics that are both funny and dangerous Winston is accidently hurled from the 1970's into a world of "woke". Winston finds this woke world to be crazy.He doesn't think it's crazy because it's filled with talking birds (although it is), it's crazy because half of the people view their world as systematically racist, oppressive, and evil and the other half believe that they live in a society that, although imperfect, is by far the most successful in history. The half that believe in systematic racism and oppression are the educators of the next generation. Teacher Bird teaches her young chicks that all interactions are about power. And that any bird with blue feathers is automatically an oppressor and any with green feathers is automatically a victim.Students are taught things like Critical Feather Theory, and there are coaches who train them to become Social Justice Warriors. These Social Justice Warriors are cheered on by the Red Offenders: Madame Mao, Zhang, Yao, and Wang, The Gang of Four from China's Cultural Revolution, have also accidentally fallen into this Woke world and, unlike Winston, they love this crazy world.The Red Offenders love the fact that society is starting to organize as "oppressed" and "oppressor". They love that there is a group who is automatically victimized and another who is automatically guilty. And knocking over statues and other forms of violence that enforce this madness makes the Red Offenders salivate.This is a story about a journey. Winston is a graduate student in 1970's Paris who has two professors: Michel Foucault and Herbert Marcuse, actual philosophers who are the most quoted by modern woke academics. Winston, by accident, travels to another world and to another time: the year 2022.Winston needs to get back to his own world and time so that this "woke" nightmare does not become the future.More and more parents are getting frustrated with public education because they don't know why or when our education system stopped teaching their kids how to think in favor of teaching them what to think.The Red Offenders is like "Alice in Wonderland" meeting "Animal Farm" and it explains in vivid detail how we got to this world of woke and what we can do about it. #Teen&YoungAdult #SocialTopics #GraphicNovels #YoungAdultSocialTopics #humorous #HumorousGraphicNovels #SocialTheory #YoungAdultValues&Virtues #YoungAdultCompulsiveBehavior #YoungAdultCivilRights #YoungAdultBullying #YoungAdultDystopian
