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. They follow legends and local lore, destroy the
murderous dead, and keep pesky things like the future and friends at
bay.
Searching for a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood,
Cas expects the usual: 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.
Yet she spares Cas's life.
