SHORTLISTED FOR THE AUTHORS' CLUB BEST FIRST NOVEL AWARD 2016
'Hauntingly brilliant' Emma Healey, author of Elizabeth Is Missing A chilling ghost story set on Dartmoor for fans of Daphne du Maurier, Susan Hill and Hilary Mantel's Beyond Black.Winner of BEST HORROR NOVEL (August Derleth Award) at British Fantasy Awards 2016
She comes in the night. She looks into your eyes. One by one, she has taken us all.
For generations they have died young, and now fifteen-year-old Iris and her father are the last of the Villarca line. Confined to their lonely mansion on Dartmoor, they suffer their disease in isolation. But Iris breaks her promise to hide from the world and dares to fall in love.
It is only then that they understand the true horror of the Villarca curse, the curse of the bone-white woman who visits in the night, leaving death in her wake.
'With a ghostly face at the window, inexplicable events and a sense of menace hanging over every page, this is one chilling gothic novel' Daily Mail

I raged, wept and hid under the bed covers . . . hauntingly brilliant
-
This chilling story drew me in from the first page, and kept me up at night, until I reached the last
-
RAWBLOOD makes a powerful contribution to the British literature of the fantastic . . . [An] eerie and by turns moving story that spans generations. It filled my head for several evenings, and will linger there too . . . A definite book of the year for me
-
As a meta-examination of the Gothic genre (it's mostly set in the 19th Century) and as a straightforward tale of grisly haunting, Ward's novel is remarkably successful - SPECTATOR
-
Plenty of twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat - WOMAN & HOME
