Red: The Series

by Mchll Renee

The origin, the hunger, the long unspooling history of a girl who was not supposed to survive — and the woman she became because she did.

Red: The Series is the adult literary arm of the Red universe. Where the interactive series invites younger readers to walk beside Red on the hunt, the adult series digs into her origin and the grown history of what she is.

Gothic, vampiric, and unapologetically Southern-rooted. The series moves backward and forward in time, tracing the pendant, the voice, and the long line of violence and survival that made her.
