My teaser lines this week are from The Inheritance by Simon Tolkien (grandson of JRR). It's a mystery novel and I'm enjoying it a lot so far, even though most of it is much less other-worldly than this passage (more than two lines, but I couldn't decide what to cut):It was the house that was the problem. . . . The house seemed to be watching him. In defiance he had started taking pictures of it, concentrating particularly on the shadowy times of day – just before dusk and after the dawn – and had then found himself examining his prints for apparitions. (p. 44)Have you ever taken a photo and then found something (or someone) in it you didn't expect to see? I have, although in my case it's not usually anything ghostly – more in the UFO category.

If there was something creepy like that in the house I was staying at, there'd be less photos and more running away. Great teaser :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by
I hope that you enjoy your book. Here's my Teaser for Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteOh, I haven't heard of this book - thanks for the teaser.
ReplyDeleteYes Todd McCaffrey is Anne's son.
The dragonrider series is (IMO) the best of her work. Todd - not so much.
That's a pretty cool teaser. I didn't know Tolkein's grandson was writing. That's pretty cool too.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't even heard of J.R.R. Tolkien's grandson before! Great teaser. It's creepy, but looks fascinating.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my blog!
Great teaser! Mysterious and spooky.
ReplyDeleteI've also never heard of Tolkien's grandson before. Thanks for sharing.
