Good Girls Don't Die cover

From the bestselling author of Alice, three women find themselves trapped inside fictional worlds and must fight to survive in this groundbreaking locked-room thriller. Celia wakes up in a house that isn’t hers. She doesn't recognize her husband or the little girl who claims to be her daughter. She tries to remember who she was before, because she is certain that this life—the little family-run restaurant she owns, the gossipy small town she lives in—is not her own. Allie is supposed to be on a fun weekend trip—but then her friend's boyfriend unexpectedly invites the group to a remote cabin in the woods. The cabin looks recently assembled and there are no animals or other life anywhere in the forest. Nothing about the place seems right. Then, in the middle of the night, someone bangs on the cabin door… Maggie, along with twelve other women, wakes up in a shipping container with the number three stamped on the back of her T-shirt. If she wants to see her daughter Paige again, Maggie must complete The Maze—a deadly high-stakes obstacle course. Three women. Three stories. Only one way out...

Praise for the author "A true page-turner" Paul Tremblay "Henry's storytelling is her own sort of witchcraft." Christopher Golden "Hair-raising, heart-stopping suspense from start to finish. A perfect nightmare of a novel." Rachel Harrison "For years now Christina Henry has been showing us the cracks in the world, and the magic passing through. Now she leads us not to a large crack, but to four hairline tears. I followed her down each of them, and I got lost, and wished I'd never find my way back" Francesco Dimitri "Henry's storytelling is her own sort of witchcraft" Christopher Golden "It's full of magic and passion and courage, set against a convincing historical backdrop... Henry's spare, muscular prose is a delight. I loved this novel" Louisa Morgan "Henry has mastered the art in Looking Glass, linking together four stories that expand and deepen the brutal and vibrant world she's created. Alice and Hatcher and Elizabeth's stories are the fairy tale of survival and transformation that every grown woman needs" A. J. Hackwith "Hugely creepy and brilliantly inventive" Heat "This enchanting story keeps you absorbed to the very end" SFX "Will give you a new perspective on the literary classic" Kirkus Reviews "A riveting rewrite" The Wall Street Journal "An unforgettable novel" Morning Star "A tremendous read" Starburst "Will delight readers" Publishers Weekly
