The Girl Who Raised the Dead

by Kawashima Norikazu
Edited and translated by Ryan Holmberg

KRRRAK BOOM!! A young woman is struck dead by a bolt of lightning. But then a miracle—her charred body rises into the air and absorbs an eerie orb of light. When the girl comes back to life, she discovers that she possesses amazing telepathic powers. She can move objects. She can force people to do things against their will. She can see the future. She can even raise the dead!

Originally published in 1987, THE GIRL WHO RAISED THE DEAD marks the triumphant return of cult-horror legend Kawashima Norikazu. Drawn a year after his masterpiece Her Frankenstein, this brutal yet charming manga shows Kawashima wickedly slathering teen paranormal magic in slasher gore. The Girl Who Raised the Dead is the sixth volume of SMUDGE, a series of vintage horror, occult, and dark-fantasy manga from publisher Living the Line.
