Dead Girls is the début novel by British science fiction author Richard Calder, and was first published in the UK in 1992 (HarperCollins) and 1995 in the US (St Martin's Press).
The novel is the first in Calders 'Dead' trilogy, and is followed by the novels Dead Boys and Dead Things.
Calder is currently working with the Filipino artist Leonardo M. Giron to turn Dead Girls into a graphic novel. Act 1 - The Last of England has been serialised in Murky Depths #9 to #12 and collected in a limited edition full-colour hardback (published January, 2011) by the imprint The House of Murky Depths. Act 2 began in Murky Depths #16 (Summer, 2011). There are no plans to make graphic novels of the rest of the Dead series, but an eight-comic series launched in March 2012 to replace the serialisation that was cut short with the demise of Murky Depths with Issue #18.
