Synopsis

Infused by eroticism, poignancy and a deep awareness of the desires, delusions and fears that compel us to do the things we do, Dead Girls boldly announces an original new voice in contemporary fiction. Subtly linked by the background narrative of a serial killer's arrest in Vancouver, these stories inhabit a dark, urban landscape as they journey into the realm of desperate relationships, of power and impulse, emotional wagers and negotiations.
