Under his former pen name “Sady Doyle,” Jude founded the feminist blog Tiger Beatdown in 2008. He is the author of "Trainwreck: The Women We Love to Hate, Mock, and Fear... and Why" (Melville House 2016), which has been called "smart, funny and fearless" (Boston Globe), "compelling" and "persuasive" (New York Times Book Review). The Atlantic predicted that "Trainwreck will very likely join the feminist canon." Doyle’s second book, "Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers: Monstrosity, Patriarchy and the Fear of Female Power" (Melville House, 2019) was named a Best Non-Fiction Book of 2019 by Kirkus Reviews and was shortlisted for Starburst Magazine’s Brave New Words award.

In 2021, Jude published "Maw," a limited-series horror comic with artist A.L. Kaplan, for Boom! Studios. His follow-up, "The Neighbors" with artist Letizia Cadonici, was published in 2023, and was nominated for a 2024 GLAAD award for “Outstanding Comic.” Both are now available in collected edition, and Jude’s third series, "Be Not Afraid" with artist Lisandro Estherren, is forthcoming from Boom! Studios.

Really enjoy that we got to learn more of the back story for the guy that is connected to his mother’s ‘cult’. It did feel cheap that they just killed off the main character’s sister to further the plot. There was something there that could’ve been explored with her saying she had nothing to say at the retreat meeting and how she had to be what people wanted her to be instead of who she is.

So far I'm hating this series story line (enjoying the art). I will give it one or two more issues before quitting.

J'ai beaucoup plus aimé ce tome que les deux précédents!
Plus dans l'action et plus sanglant. Il donne envie de continuer de lire la série, de savoir ce qui se passe exactement avec Marion!

Only one phrase comes to mind after reading this story, “hell has no fury like a woman scorned” No one deserved the horrific actions that took place but wow did it make a great story.

It’s such a classic inverse, but this time it may be classic because it’s universal, not because of unfounded reverence for dead white guys: the monsters are the solution to the true monstrosity, which is huMANity. Doyle uses the opening two chapters to establish the constant aura of violence women live in: physical, sexual, psychological, social. And now, the monsters are appearing, and the monsters may be the solution only because they are the better alternative than what the world otherwise provides.
