Once deemed too controversial to release, DEADGIRL burned itself into horror history — a film whispered about, condemned, and ultimately canonised as a twisted cult classic.
Now, that nightmare has a voice.
Bridgett Nelson adapts Deadgirl into a relentless, psychologically raw novel that drags the reader deeper into the filth, fear, and moral collapse at the heart of the story.
What begins as a grim discovery — a naked, chained girl in the basement of an abandoned asylum — becomes a grotesque coming-of-age spiral, drenched in rot, rage, and denial.
Rickie doesn’t want to be a monster.
But he can’t look away.
And the girl… won’t die.
Nelson’s adaptation doesn’t flinch. It burrows.
Through guilt, violence, complicity, and the brutal choices that define who we become when no one’s watching. If the film made you uncomfortable, the novel will haunt you.
