StarMan (thestarman) | 1898 comments I would consider Julie's suggestion of "Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter, "
or Ev's suggestion of Stephen King's "Cell" (I read it years ago, but don't remember much it except that it was neither awful nor mind-blowing.. so it must have been ok).

Y'all are probably tired of me mentioning this one, but:


0) The Girl with All the Gifts
The Girl With All the Gifts Extended Free Preview by M.R. Carey
(YA/adult post-apocalyptic, unusual protagonist)
**Also a recent movie

Everything You Want Me to Be by Mindy Mejia
(contemporary mystery/murder / coming of age)


5) Never Let Me Go
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

**Has been made into a movie starring Keira Knightley


6) Rebecca
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
(classic fiction, gothic romance)


7) The Coldest Girl in Coldtown
