"Scott's spare language ... is powerful, gripping, and heart-wrenching. The final page will leave you stunned."

"Some books are read and put away. Others demand to be talked about. Elizabeth Scott's
Living Dead Girl
will be talked about."

--Ellen Hopkins,
New York Times
bestselling author of
Crank

"Most authors want to hear 'I couldn't put it down' from their fans.
Living Dead Girl
is a book you
have
to put down; then you have to pick it right back up. The beauty of this story is that, though none of its readers will have had this experience, all will feel connected to it."

--Chris Crutcher, author of
Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes
and
Deadline

"A haunting story of an abducted girl you'll be desperate and helpless to save; her captor so disturbing, so menacing, you'll want to claw the pages from this book and shred them."

--Lisa McMann,
New York Times
bestselling author of
Wake
and
Fade
