Publisher's summary
There are rules for Voynich Woods: Always carry a whistle. Never go alone. Always come home before dark. And if anyone calls your name, don't answer. Because everyone who wanders from the path is never seen again.
Except for Riley Walcott.
Riley knows better than to stray from the trail in the woods behind her uncle Toby's house. But her little sister Sam breaks the rules in pursuit of a local legend, so Riley chases after her and discovers a knife-wielding figure and a waiting grave.
Madelyn lives deep in the forest. Subject to her mother's strict rules, she's forbidden from leaving home or using her magic—but one night, she risks everything to help a stranger who's lost in the woods.
Riley is murdered in a strange ritual, Madelyn uses her magic to resurrect her, and their lives are immediately entwined in the gnarled history of Voynich Woods. Riley, who feels trapped in her small town but too afraid to leave, was never a believer, but now the evidence is taking root under her skin. Madelyn has the scars to prove how terrible magic can be, and longs for a life beyond her mother's grasp. As the legends become all too real, Riley and Madelyn must confront their deepest fears to uncover the truth about Voynich Woods.
At once tender, violent, and thrilling, Dead Girls Don't Dream is a novel of recovery, healing, and finding your power.
Critic reviews
"Cipri's horror offers a compassionate and unflinching perspective on the way people hurt each other and love each other, often at the same time. Dead Girls Don't Dream is one of the loveliest, most devastating things I've read in a long time."―Sarah Gailey, Hugo Award-winning author of Just Like Home
"Creepy, beautiful, witchy, and queer, Dead Girls Don't Dream was hard to put down. Eldritch forest magic, an immersive New England setting, and a cast of compelling characters―both living and dead―made it an engrossing and memorable read."―Erica Waters, author of The River Has Teeth and All That Consumes Us
