Summary

Once deemed too controversial to release, DEADGIRL stunned festival audiences, outraged religious groups, and became an instant cult sensation. A film that seared itself into the minds of the depraved and the discerning alike, it remains one of the most transgressive and boundary-pushing nightmares of its era.

When two high school misfits—bound by boredom and adolescent hunger—ditch class to slip beyond the rusted doors of an abandoned hospital, they stumble upon a gruesome secret that will shatter their innocence and test the limits of their sanity: a woman, stripped bare and chained to a table.

She’s abandoned. She’s beautiful. She’s dead …or is she?

Celebrated author Bridgett Nelson breathes new life into Trent Haaga’s infamous, unholy fever dream—a harrowing exploration of intimacy, morality, and the horrors of growing up. DEADGIRL is a grotesque coming-of-age nightmare that peels back the skin of innocence to expose the raw, throbbing horror beneath.

You can look away. You can tell yourself it’s only a story. You may deny what it reveals about you.

But DEADGIRL will still be there—waiting.

My Review

4/5 Stars

I’ve not seen the movie that this book is based on so the plot, characters, and world were a brand new experience for me. And I’m glad because that made this book so engrossing.

I didn’t know what would come next, and Bridgett’s style made sure it was a tense but brutal read. I don’t want to give too much away for people who haven’t seen the movie, but this was an awesome book.

If you enjoy splatterpunk/darker horror pieces, this will be a favorite.
