The Girl In The Green Silk Gown

"Seanan McGuire takes hoary old urban legends, midnight neon diners and weepy 1950s dead-teenager ballads and warps them into something magic, dark and strange. The Girl in the Green Silk Gown is Rose Marshall, the Phantom Prom Date, doomed forever to hitchhike along America’s highways, one step ahead of the supernatural villain who ran her off the road. If you’re the kind of person who pats your car on the dashboard and encourages it on long trips – and even if you’re not – this is the book for you. (For added enjoyment, track down and listen to the music McGuire writes and performs about these stories.)"
