May I just say first that I love the cover art of this book.
Secondly, the book is awesome, too.
This is centered around Cas Lowood, a high school student whose occupation is killing ghosts. He is the only one in the world who can manage this, and before him, his father until he was murdered by one of the ghosts he'd sworn to kill. This is no secret; he gets tips and letters from all over the world requesting his abilities and he travels with his "kitchen-witch" Wiccan mother and their black half-Siamese cat, Tybalt, who can sometimes sense the ghosts Cas searches for.
Their latest move is to a town called Thunder Bay, where Cas has heard tales of a house on a hill, its hallways prowled by a phantom locals refer to as Anna Dressed in Blood.
Real name, Anna Korlov. She was brutally murdered in 1958, and she still wears the white dress she wore on the day of her murder, which now drips blood at the hem.
Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian house she used to call home.
But she, for whatever reason when Cas steps over the threshold, spares his life.
I'm about halfway through though I just started it yesterday and it's really good, but very intense. Definitely recommended if you want to sleep with the lights on. (:
