A frightening, disturbing, and gripping read.

Elizabeth Scott has written an absolutely breathtaking novel about a sickening topic, bringing light to a scenario that happens all too often and that few of us want to face.I listened to this bo...

The narrator of Living Dead Girl is the second "Alice" to be abducted and abused by Ray. Taken from a school field trip when she was ten, Alice has survived five years with Ray, but the older she gets, the closer she is to meeting the same end as the first Alice.In simple, stark prose, we are given ...
