This week my teaser lines come from the new book by Andrew Taylor (due out later this month), The Anatomy of Ghosts. It's a historical suspense novel about ghosts and books and Cambridge University in the eighteenth century. I've only read about seventy pages, but so far I'm definitely enjoying it.This bit comes from page 10 of the ARC - the final paragraph of Chapter 1 - so please remember that the published version may differ slightly. And once again it's more than two lines, but just a little:
He did not know that he was screaming....But long before he discovered what he was holding, he knew that there was nothing living in whatever curled around his fingers. He knew that what he touched was dead.Well, it is a ghost story, after all.

I'm glad you are enjoying this one. I'm giving away my ARC because I just couldn't get into it. I have two this week. My YA teaser is from Five Flavors of Dumb and my adult teaser is from The Iron Duke. Happy reading!
Interesting one!

What or who was he holding?? good one.
The cover is beautiful. So if it's dead... than is it translucent with a haunting look saying.. save my soul??
I haven't read a ghost story since I was a child, but this one sounds so good I may have to buy it when it comes out! Can't wait to see what you think when you've finished reading.
