orangerfulThere are horror stories that are filled with mythical creatures that hunt down victims and shred them into bloody bits.
And then there are horror stories that are real. So real that you can't even think about them, with monsters that could be sitting behind you on a bus with innocent people trapped in their claws.
Living Dead Girl is a horror story of the latter kind. "Alice" was abducted by Ray when she was a little girl. Now, she has become a shell of a person, going through the motions that keep Ray satisfied enough with their "relationship". She has forgotten how to feel, has tried to block out her past, because forgetting when she was happy is the only way to make her life bearable.
This book is at once hard to read and fascinating. Alice's narrative draws you in, and the short chapters make the story move along. It is painful to read but such a mesmerizing tale. I'm not sure who I would recommend this title too. It is a well written book, but far from a fun read.
You can preview the first few pages on Good Reads.

(Who is this irrestibles creature who has an insaciable love for the dead?)
Living Dead Girl!
Rage in the cage
And piss upon the stage
There's only one sure way
To bring the giant down
Defunct the strings
Of cemetary things
With one flat foot
On the devil's wing
Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living Dead Girl
Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living Dead Girl
Raping the geek
And hustling the freak
Like a hunchback juice
On a sentimental noose
Operation filth
They love to love the wealth
Of an SS Whore
Making scary sounds
Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living Dead Girl
Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living Dead Girl
Psyclone Jack
Hallucinating Hack
Thinks Donna Reed
Eats dollar bills
Goldfoot machine
Creates another fiend
So Beautiful,
They make you kill
Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living Dead Girl
Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living Dead Girl
Blood on her skin
Dripping with Sin
Do it again
Living Dead Girl
Blood on her skin
Dripping with Sin
Do it again
