Bloody Mary of Arranmore

They thought starving her would silence her. They were wrong.Ireland, 1846. On the famine¿stricken island of Arranmore, nineteen¿year¿old Mary Gallagher steals a handful of grain to keep children alive. For that mercy, her neighbors drag her into the storm and carve a punishment meant to kill both the girl and her name.But Mary refused to die.Crawling from the ruins of her family's cottage-bloodied, fevered, and half¿mad with grief-she becomes a figure whispered about in the dark. A girl seen walking the bogs at night. A voice keening over the Corpse Corner. A shadow stalking the men who betrayed her.Some say she's a ghost. Some say she's a curse. All fear the truth:Mary Gallagher has returned, and she is done begging for mercy.Drawn from family lore and the buried history of the Great Hunger, Bloody Mary of Arranmore is a fierce, haunting tale of a woman the world tried to destroy-and the reckoning she became.
