Girl of Nightmares
Kendare Blake
It's been months since the ghost of Anna Korlov opened a door to Hell in her basement and disappeared into it, but ghost-hunter Cas Lowood can't move on.
His friends remind him that Anna sacrificed herself so that Cas could live—not walk around half dead. He knows they're right, but in Cas's eyes, no living girl he meets can compare to the dead girl he fell in love with.
Now he's seeing Anna everywhere: sometimes when he's asleep and sometimes in waking nightmares. But something is very wrong...these aren't just daydreams. Anna seems tortured, torn apart in new and ever more gruesome ways every time she appears.
Cas doesn't know what happened to Anna when she disappeared into Hell, but he knows she doesn't deserve whatever is happening to her now. Anna saved Cas more than once, and it's time for him to return the favor.
I've had quite a few really bad nightmares. The worst nightmare was about my dad. He was shot and killed in my dream. That dream really had shaken me up. Ugh I hate having nightmares especially like that.
ReplyDeleteI just wrote a blog post about one of the worst nightmares I ever had. It was about a train wreck. Yuck.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a child and was made to go to church, I used to have so many nightmares. The most memorable is one where I & my classmates are on a playground and close to us is a cave. Somehow I know that satan is in the cave and he begins calling my classmates in one by one. I try to stop them but they don't listen. Until finally there's only me left on the playground and I know he's going to call my name. But then I wake up. I had that dream several times. It was traumatic.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was being chase by a serial killer..
ReplyDeleteThat my younger sister was kidnapped.
ReplyDeletegetting attacked
ReplyDeleteI don't remember too many of my dreams, but one of the worst I remember was that I was in the opening scene of Scream. I had the dream shortly after the movie came out and had freaked out after that scene (I love scary books, but hate scary movies) so had stopped watching it. In the dream, a friend and I were hanging out and were basically both the Drew Barrymore character. I decided after that to watch the whole movie to help get it out of my head.
ReplyDeleteI had a very realistic nightmare that my parents were in a car accident and died :(
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of nightmares, so it's really hard to narrow it down to just one!
ReplyDeleteI can't even tell you it's so bad. It involved wax figures that were actually bodies. Urgh. I was only 12 when I has that nightmare!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember too many nightmares anymore, but I had one once when I was a child where a giant toad had parked itself in the street between our house and my best friend's house next door. When I tried to sneak past it on the sidewalk, it's tongue shot out and wrapped around my legs. It then proceeded to pull me in toward it so it could eat me. Very frightening to my 10 year old self.
ReplyDeleteAfter my granddad passed away I had a nightmare that creeped me out because it had all this dead people, and I cried :(
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in 7th grade, I had a nightmare in which I had to kill my mom in order to save myself. I woke up crying and hating my selfishness.
ReplyDeleteI was eaten by a shark... I am deathly afraid of sharks.
ReplyDeleteThe worst nightmare I have had was my best friend being murdered in front of me. Horrible.
ReplyDeleteI'm really bad at remembering dreams, so I can't think of a nightmare off the top of my head. But I really enjoyed Anna Dressed In Blood and have had book 2 on my to read list for a while.
ReplyDeleteThe worst nightmare I've had is dying before my kids are old enough to be on their own.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little I had dream that something came out of the ground and grabbed my little sister and pulled her down with it!
ReplyDeleteOne of the worst nightmares I can remember is watching someone burn in a pot of boiling oil.2
ReplyDeleteMy worst nightmare was being buried alive.
ReplyDeleteI can't really remember any of my nightmares. I try to forget them. But thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI had one terrifying nightmare about a serial killer coming into my house, killing the rest of my family, and me being forced to hide in a box under my parents' bed. Too many Criminal Minds episodes were probably to blame!
ReplyDeleteMy worst nightmare was when I was at school one day and my friends went outside. We then saw a man who was killing every kid I knew. Friends were stabbed, shot, etc. In the end, he found me hiding under the bleachers and raised his bloody knife saying "You're next."
ReplyDeleteLooking over my shoulder to find the longed-haired girl from The Ring staring at me through the hair she was combing. I yelled, "Pretty hair!" and ran away. Hah! Pretty funny when I woke up and started telling the story. Not so funny when I was still in the dream. *Shudders*
ReplyDeleteI dreamed I was in some kind of competition where you partnered up and whoever did worse on each challenge died. Most of them were physical, so I never lasted very long.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of crazy nightmares, mostly ones where I die. The last nightmare I had was about the devil. No joke. His minions kidnapped me, he tortured me, and made me watch as he killed my friends and other demons ate them.
ReplyDeleteI woke up and thought, "Oh my God, that was an awesome dream! I'm gonna have to write that one into a story." haha
I had a dream my parents died and I woke up almost crying. It was intense and not at all pleasant.
ReplyDeleteUm, forgetting my backpack and/or homework, or being late to school. ^_^" #geek
ReplyDeleteMy worst nightmare was of my son being run over by a backhoe while playing in a field. I woke up in a sweat and couldn't calm down until I hugged him about a million times.
ReplyDeleteoh nothing much, just the end of the world - regnod(at)yahoo(d0t)com
ReplyDeleteI don't usually have too many bad dreams let alone nightmares. But one that I had recently comes to mind. All I can remember from it was this giant alligator but it must have been something awful because my boyfriend had to wake me up because I was kicking and screaming like I was being attacked.
ReplyDeleteI dreamed that my new born son, who had to stay in the hospital while I was sent home, died. I was so hysterical that despite calling the hospital to be sure he was okay, I insisted on going to the hospital.
ReplyDeleteGetting back together with my ex-husband (after we'd been divorced for over a year).
ReplyDelete:Shudders:
Saph
I can't remember any specific nightmares off hand but the worst ones are where you need to run or scream or do something and no matter what you do you are paralyzed and cant do anything. and then you wake up and your heart is racing and breathing heavy like you ran a mile :)
ReplyDeleteI had a dream that I had sex with Sam Winchester.
ReplyDeleteI had a nightmare where Destiel didn't even exist.
ReplyDeleteGetting attacked, or my family dying
ReplyDeleteI had to slay psychedelic dragons who were chasing me through a winery.
ReplyDeleteThe worst nightmare I've had was of my whole family getting shot by robbers :( It felt very realistic.
ReplyDeleteI've never really had nightmares...
ReplyDeleteThey say you could die in real life if you die in your dreams. Well I had a nightmare where I died. Someone I knew pushed me off a bridge and I fell on rocks below. I felt myself die and was gasping for air as I woke up.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I have had many nightmares, and I remember them vividly, but one of the worst was when I was three years old and my brother was just born. I had a dream that a witch broke in through the window and kidnapped him. Yes, I had a very vivid imagination as a child.
ReplyDeleteIt was13 I had a I dream that my cousin that pasted away was haunting me. He followed me everywhere looking at me with a sad face. I WOKE UP CRYING!!!
