TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:
- Grab your current read.
- Let the book fall open to a random page.
- Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
- You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
- Please avoid spoilers!
My teaser for today:
He looked down at the ghost, and at the same time the dead man lifted his head and his eyes rolled open. But where his eyes belonged was only a black scribble.
(Pg 61, Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill)

I'm so excited that you're reading Heart Shaped Box - I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to your review - whether you enjoyed it or not. I'm a huge Stephen King fan and read Joe's Heart Shaped Box when it first came out. I really enjoyed it and I've yet to meet anyone else who has read it yet.
Ceri - I'm enjoying it so far, Ceri! It's creepy!!
Isn't this such a great book?! It seemed to read more like a screenplay than a book to me at least but I still liked it. Hope they make the film soon!
