Dead Girls

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?
