‘Darkly humorous and deliciously unhinged.’ - Wren James, author of The Loneliest Girl in the Universe.A love letter to slasher films and angsty teenage friendship, Dead Girls is a graphic novel perfect for fans of Holly Jackson, E.M. Carroll and Yellowjackets.   Clossdale has a history of dead girls. When a fifth missing teenager turns up dead, all eyes on are one suspect – 17-year-old Ash, the orphaned daughter of serial killer ‘Evil Evelyn’. Ash is sick of her peers being murdered, and she’s sick of the police not taking the investigations seriously. After finding a note telling her she’s next, Ash, along with her foster sister Cassie and best friend Jamie, decides to take matters into their own hands. But when their plan goes awry, the girls find themselves at the centre of a deeper and darker web than they could ever have imagined. Can they put a stop to the murders, or will they each become just another of Clossdale’s dead girls? Praise for Dead Girls:‘A chilling slasher that effectively explores legacy, identity, confronting the past—and refusing to be defined by it’ - Kirkus Starred Review‘There’s plenty to love in this campy, slasher mystery, from tongue-in-cheek dialogue to a well-propelled mystery enmeshed with the challenges of grief to a fantastically queer cast’ – Booklist Starred Review‘Witty and engaging, this is a solid recommendation for all horror readers.’ School Library Journal

Two starred reviews! The teen daughter of an infamous serial killer must prove she isnt the one behind recent copycat murders in this tongue-in-cheek (Booklist, starred review) graphic novel thats a campy, feminist send-up of slashers that both celebrates and subverts classic tropes.In the cozy town of Clossdale, a serial killer rampages! Five girls missing in as many weeks! Bodies turning up on the forest floor! And all fingers point to one vile fiend: Ash Hargreeves. Except Ash didnt do it. She may be the daughter of the infamous Clossdale Killer, and these copycat killings arent exactly convincing proof of her innocenceand okay, shes kind of a weirdo who has two friends total, but when the murders strike a little too close to home, Ash decides to take a stand. With the help of her besties, Ash is going to hunt down the killer, clear her mothers name, and stop there from being any more dead girlsnow and forever. After all, WWJLCD: what would Jamie Lee Curtis do?
