The story begins with Alice, but her name wasn't Alice. She was a little girl with friends, family and a life who was later abducted by a man named Ray just before her tenth birthday. Alice called herself the "living dead girl". She's numb inside, she's hungry and she's been tortured so much that she wishes for death. However, she didn't leave her abductor despite multiples opportunities for her to tell somebody, to run away, to ask for help...Why?
Alice's emotions and feelings are so vivid that make me want to save or help her in any way possible because of her vulnerability. Living Dead Girl is a truly haunting and shockingly good story. I think everyone should read it. It is short (170 pages) but beautifully written and unforgettable.
