Teaser Tuesdays

Teaser Tuesdays (started on Should Be Reading) asks you to:

Grab your current read (or a book on your shelf that you've read or been wanting to read). Let the book fall open to a random page. Share two (or a few) teaser sentences from that page. Don't forget to share the title and author of the book in case someone is teased into reading. Please avoid spoilers!

I've posted my teaser below. Post yours in the comment section if you'd like to share as well!

He holds his tongue out as he walks to catch the falling drops. He hasn’t eaten anything in three days, and can’t remember what he did eat then.

from Boy by David Wellington, 30 Stories in 30 Days from Daily Lit

Read along in October with Rob (and us) and 31 Shots of Shock!

Thoughts for Thursday

Do you want to join in 31 Shots of Shock for October?

See post below for details! The original idea is from Rob Around Books.

31 Shots of Shock for October

Rob Around Books is hosting his 31 Shots of Shock for October again. It starts this Friday, October 1st. Do you want to participate? The idea is to "read one horror-themed short story every day throughout the month of October, during the lead up to Halloween." I think it sounds like fun. He has done it for the past couple of years and you can read the reviews of all the stories he has read.

I'm going to get my stories from Daily Lit in email installments. I'm ordering 30 Stories in 30 Days by contemporary American horror author David Wellington (it actually comes in 31 installments, so there will be something to read every day of the month). He writes about zombies, werewolves and vampires. If you don't think you'd like that sort of thing, you could also try Famous Modern Ghost Stories (113 installments but only 10 or so stories), or another option is to read Edgar Allen Poe's stories.
