Cemetery Girl (Charlaine Harris Schulz) Books in Order

Cemetery Girl follows Calexa Rose Dunhill, a teenager who wakes up in a graveyard with no memory of who she is or who tried to kill her. She pieces together a new name from nearby headstones, hides in an empty crypt, and learns the paths of the cemetery so well that the groundskeeper starts calling her his little ghost.

The near death experience left Calexa with an unnerving ability. When someone dies near her, their spirit is drawn into her, bringing a rush of images, feelings, and unfinished business. She sees what they saw in their final moments and feels a tug to set things right, even though stepping out of the shadows makes her visible to whoever left her for dead in the first place.

Over the three graphic novels, written by Charlaine Harris and Christopher Golden, Calexa's world slowly widens. She forms a wary friendship with the cemetery caretaker and with an older woman who lives across the street, people who sense that she needs help even if they do not know her full story. At the same time she witnesses new crimes, from occult rituals gone wrong to cold blooded murder, and has to decide how much of herself she is willing to risk to get justice for the dead who now live inside her head.

The series leans into atmosphere. Fog hangs over weathered statues, crows perch on angel wings, and the panels linger on quiet moments of Calexa watching the living from a distance. Action scenes are sharp and cinematic, but much of the power comes from how isolated she feels and how slowly trust develops. The art shifts across volumes, yet it always treats the graveyard as a character in its own right.

Cemetery Girl is a good fit for readers who like young adult stories on the darker side, where supernatural gifts come with heavy costs and safety is never guaranteed. It stands alone from Harris's prose series while still carrying her familiar mix of small human details, moral questions, and a heroine who survives by being more stubborn than anyone who underestimates her.
