I was introduced to RJ Clark by a mutual earlier this year with a fantastic novel called Staycation. Shortly after, Lockdown came out (I haven't read it yet). Dead Girls Don't Cry is a quick 50-page novella that falls right in between both books. Without giving away any spoilers, I can tell you that the story follows two POVs—one from Amanda and the other from Kazuki—during a time when a pandemic has hit and everyone is supposed to be sheltered in place. Both of these girls, suffering from cabin fever, venture out, and the story follows what happens next.

The story grabs you quickly and is fast-paced. Clark has a way of making your imagination take over as you try to figure out what’s going to happen next. I am a crazy person who tries to figure out the whole plot from the first chapter or blurb, but I like the fact that with his books, this is never possible. This is a fun, creepy read.
