Who're you gonna call?

Cas's father made a living killing the dead. Not zombies or vampires, but ghosts. Ghosts that were dangerous, were unable or unwilling to move on, or both. That is, until a ghost killed him. Now Cas has taken up the family business. Mostly the haunts he's dispatched have given him little trouble, and few were memorable. Cas does his job and moves on without looking back. After all, it's all in a day's work. But everything changes when he is confronted with his greatest challenge yet: A ghost known to the locals as Anna Dressed in Blood. More than 50 years earlier, Anna, a teenage girl, was brutally murdered on her way to a dance. Since, her ghost has haunted her former home, forced to kill anyone daring (or stupid) enough to set foot inside. Anna has killed more people than any monster Cas has ever encountered. But for some reason, Anna is unwilling--unable even--to kill Cas. Now Cas realizes Anna may be his hardest kill ever, because in order to dispatch her restless and dangerous spirit to the great beyond, he must solve the mystery of what made Anna's ghost the way it is in the first place.

Deliciously spooky and, at times, gruesome, Anna Dressed in Blood is a ghost story sure to satisfy even the hardest to scare. Read it with the lights on! --AJL
