Dead Girls


Book Description

I nearly died when I was shot in the head. Now, I see things that aren't alive. They said it was a murder-suicide, that my father killed my mother, tried to kill me, then killed himself. I don't remember it like that. In fact, I don't remember it at all. But I'm left feeling alone, confused, and afraid, mostly of the things I see that no else can. Ghosts. I never believed in them before, but now I can't stop seeing them, and they want something from me. Am I losing my mind? Or am I the only one who can help them find peace from beyond the grave? I'll do whatever I can to help them, but I could very well become one of them if I'm not careful. My name is Casey Pope and I see dead people. Casey may be the only person who can save a missing girl and get justice for two others who have been abducted and murdered in a small South Carolina town. Can she figure out who to trust with her newfound ability to communicate with the dead, or will she become a killer's next victim?

Full of fascinating insights and interviews, the book looks at how celebrities use blogs, Twitter, and other tools, how YouTube and other sites create celebrity, how Web 2.0 shortens the distance between fans and stars, and how the new social media influences news reporting and series television.
