Anna Dressed in Blood

By Kendare Blake
Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

From Kendare Blake, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Three Dark Crowns, a beautiful and haunting ghost story

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

So did his father before him, until he was gruesomely murdered 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: track, 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, now stained red and dripping with 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.

But she, for whatever reason, spares Cas's life.

Kendare Blake's Anna Dressed in Blood is a 2011 Kirkus Best Teen Books of the Year title.
One of NPR's Top 5 Young Adult Novels of 2011.


At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Thumbs Up“this was funny, and i love horror romance, although there wasn’t a lot of it. this was also super gory, which im fine with, but it felt like there was so much just for the shock factor. this wouldn’t be so “scary” if it didn’t have a lot of gore in it, which is disappointing. i felt bad bc of the way he treated his poor mom sometimes. the side characters were funny and realistic but not very fleshed out. i did like the vibe it gave off and the ghosts were great. i think that the thought of ghosts being able to hurt you instead of just scare you is scary. i didn’t roll my eyes at this book as much as i thought i would. it was funny in the way of how an apathetic teenage boy who is also a ghost killer would be. there are a lot of plot holes, but it’s okay if you ignore them. i dont regret reading this, so i count that as a win”
