Now in a new redesigned edition, featuring an updated introduction from the author and songs!
Rose Marshall died in 1952 in Buckley Township, Michigan, run off the road by a man named Bobby Cross--a man who had sold his soul to live forever, and intended to use her death to pay the price of his immortality. Trouble was, he didn´t ask Rose what she thought of the idea.
It´s been more than sixty years since that night, and she´s still sixteen, and she´s still running.
They have names for her all over the country: the Girl in the Diner. The Phantom Prom Date. The Girl in the Green Silk Gown. Mostly she just goes by "Rose," a hitchhiking ghost girl with her thumb out and her eyes fixed on the horizon, trying to outrace a man who never sleeps, never stops, and never gives up on the idea of claiming what´s his. She´s the angel of the overpass, she´s the darling of the truck stops, and she´s going to figure out a way to win her freedom. After all, it´s not like it can kill her.
You can´t kill what´s already dead.
