Dead Girls

About this book

Two starred reviews! The teen daughter of an infamous serial killer must prove she isn't the one behind recent copycat murders in this "tongue-in-cheek" (Booklist, starred review) graphic novel that's 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 didn't do it. She may be the daughter of the infamous Clossdale Killer, and these copycat killings aren't exactly convincing proof of her innocence--and okay, she's 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 mother's name, and stop there from being any more dead girls--now and forever. After all, WWJLCD: what would Jamie Lee Curtis do?
