Paul Tremblay, Bestselling author of A Head Full of Ghosts. "With The Dead Girls Club, Damien Angelica Walters gives us a disturbing, compelling, twisty, feminist, coming-of-age/horror hybrid that feeds off our obsessions and anxieties. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Now, someone else knows what she did.and they're determined to make Heather pay. Until a familiar necklace arrives in the mail, a necklace Heather hasn't seen since the night Becca died. She's done her best to put that fateful summer, Becca, and the Red Lady, behind her. It's been nearly thirty years, but Heather has never told anyone what really happened that night-that Becca was right and the Red Lady was real. Heather knew the stories were just that, until her best friend Becca began insisting the Red Lady was real-and she could prove it. Obsessed with the macabre, the girls exchanged stories about serial killers and imaginary monsters, like the Red Lady, the spirit of a vengeful witch killed centuries before. In 1991, Heather Cole and her friends were members of the Dead Girls Club. A supernatural thriller in the vein of A Head Full of Ghosts about two young girls, a scary story that becomes far too real, and the tragic-and terrifying-consequences that follow one of them into adulthood.

He lay down on the rug near the cabinet and looked up expectantly, as he did in the weaving room when he was ready to hear a story. As he came closer I could read a sort of yearning in his eyes. I fought down the instinct to hide the flauto behind my back as though I were a naughty child caught playing with grown-up things. As that second note died away, the white bear entered the room. A loud ringing note came out, startling me so that I almost dropped the instrument. I placed the mouthpiece to my lips and blew. It was so beautiful I had been shy about even touching it, but one day I worked up my courage and took it out of the cabinet. “The instruments that I liked the most were the flautos and recorders, especially the lovely flauto in the box with blue velvet.
