About Anna Dressed In Blood:

Anna Dressed In Blood Cover



Just your average boy-meets-girl, girl-kills-people story…


Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead.


So did his father before him, until his gruesome murder by a ghost he sought to
kill. Now, armed with his father’s mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the
country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. Together they
follow legends and local lore, trying to keep up with the murderous dead—keeping
pesky things like the future and friends at bay.


When they arrive in a new town in search of a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed
in Blood, Cas doesn’t expect anything outside of the ordinary: move, hunt, kill.
What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he’s
never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal
murder in 1958: once white, but now stained red and dripping blood. Since her
death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the
deserted Victorian she used to call home.


And she, for whatever reason, spares his life.

Early praise for Anna Dressed In Blood

Anna Dressed in Blood is a dark and intricate tale, with a hero who kills the dead but is half in love with death himself. By the end of the book, you will be too. Spellbinding and romantic.
—Cassandra Clare, NYT Bestselling author of The Mortal Instruments series


I loved Cas! And the world he inhabits is terrifyingly vivid and utterly compelling. Get ready to sleep with the lights on because this book has teeth. Sharp ones.
—Stacey Kade, author of The Ghost and the Goth series


Anna Dressed in Blood is easily one of my favorite books of all time and is exactly what I’d hoped it would be: Gorgeous, brutal, heart-breaking, merciless, and cool as Hell. This is the kind of book I’ve been dying to read!
—Courtney Allison Moulton, author of Angelfire
