Living Dead Girl

Constant abuse of a girl, Alice, by her adult male captor, Ray: numerous descriptive scenes of rape with bruises, bleeding, shoving; once Ray pushes his fingers into Alice's shoulder stab wound while raping her. On several occasions, Ray chokes Alice, beats her, holds a knife against her throat, stabs her in shoulder with knife. Numerous threats, including death to her and her family. Mentions of murders of previous captor, captor's parents, and Ray's mother (who was an abuser). Alice wishes for death. Ray tries to keep Alice looking like a little girl through starvation, forced birth control pills to delay menstrual cycle, shaving of pubic hair, etc. A character shoots another with a gun. Graphic passages show reader how Alice experiences the sexual violence: "Bitter taste in my mouth, like Ray's skin shoving into me -- take it, Alice, take it, open wide, that's my girl ... " Another passage reads: He "pressed my face down into his lap again, then changed his mind and moved me around, folding me into what he wanted, my head pushing into the door as he pushes into me, grunt (him) thunk (me)."

Alice performs oral sex on two boys she just met, after they give her a little attention. She later has sex with one of the boys in his car.

Plenty of swearing, language including "f--k," "bitch," and "s--t."

A teen boy takes pills and offers them to Alice.
