Learn moreAnne Green can’t move a muscle, can’t open her eyes, can’t scream. She lies paralyzed in absolute darkness, terrified by her final memory—being hanged. Is she in purgatory? Hell? Was she buried alive? An innocent woman caught up in a nightmare, Anne Green is trapped with her racing thoughts, her burning need to revisit the events—and the man—that led her to the scaffold.
Meanwhile, a shy young medical student attends his first dissection and notices something strange as the doctors prepare their tools.… Did her eyelids just flutter? Could this corpse be alive?
Haunting, thrilling, and impossible to put down, Newes from the Dead is based on the true story of the real Anne Green, a servant who survived a hanging in 1650 England only to awaken on the dissection table. Newes from the Dead concludes with an excerpt from an original 1651 document that recounts this chilling medical phenomenon.
Mary Hooper is the author of more than 60 children’s and young adult books. She has two grown children and lives with her husband Richard in Oxfordshire, England, the same area Anne Green came from.
