Deadgirl: The Novelization

Once deemed too controversial to release, DEADGIRL stunned festival audiences, outraged religious groups, and became an instant cult sensation. A film that seared itself into the minds of the depraved and the discerning alike, it remains one of the most transgressive and boundary-pushing nightmares of its era.

When two high school misfits-bound by boredom and adolescent hunger—ditch class to slip beyond the rusted doors of an abandoned hospital, they stumble upon a gruesome secret that will shatter their innocence and test the limits of their sanity: a woman, stripped bare and chained to a table.

She's abandoned. She's beautiful. She's dead ...or is she?

Celebrated author Bridgett Nelson breathes new life into Trent Haaga's infamous, unholy fever dream-a harrowing exploration of intimacy, morality, and the horrors of growing up. DEADGIRL is a grotesque coming-of-age nightmare that peels back the skin of innocence to expose the raw, throbbing horror beneath.

You can look away. You can tell yourself it's only a story. You may deny what it reveals about you.

But DEADGIRL will still be there—waiting.
