Fangasm: Supernatural Fangirls by Lynn S. Zubernis, Katherine Larsen

5.0

Hilarious, personal, passionate, and honest, this book gave a lot of insight into the early SPN fandom and the slash shippers who found a community there. The SPN fandom is split into two parts, really, and while I had known some about the Destiel side by proxy of being a Tumblr user, this was a fascinating look into older fans of the show (the "bibros"). I loved seeing the passion behind the authors and the way that we are drawn to being known and fangirling over our faves, the cost of it all, and the moral of the story. I didn't expect this book to be as personal and close as it was, and I appreciated that.

Much thanks to my former professor, Professor Larsen, without whom I would have never discovered this book. <3
