From the mind of Caitlin Kittredge, the award-winning
author of the Iron Codex trilogy and Vertigo comic Coffin Hill, comes Black Dog, the first book in a new urban fantasy series about
revenge and hell...it's Kill Bill with demons!
Ava has spent the last hundred years as a hellhound,
the indentured servant of a reaper who hunts errant souls and sends them to
Hell. When a human necromancer convinces her to steal her reaper's scythe, Ava
incurs the wrath of the demon Lilith, her reaper's boss.
As punishment for her transgression, Lilith orders
Ava to track down the last soul in her reaper's ledger . . . or die trying.
But after a hundred years of servitude, it's time for
payback. And Hell hath no fury like an avenging Ava. . . .
