That sounds like it is going to be creepy. Probably not for me — I never read horror books.

Thanks for participating in Book Beginnings on Fridays. I’d like to drum up some more participants, and one idea I had was this: if you are on Twitter, please tweet a link to your post using the has tag #BookBeginnings. Maybe in connection with #FridayReads, if you participate in that twitter event. Thanks!

Reading this made my teeth grit, like with pulled cotton or nails on a chalkboard–awesome!

Very dark. I like it.

I love those opening lines. They just set the scene superbly and ooze tension and suspense. I love the descriptive use of language, especially when he likens his thoughts to ‘wrung damp linen’.

I haven’t come across this book before, so having checked out the author’s website, it has gone straight onto my list. I am certain I shall enjoy this one and I hope that you do too.

Thanks for sharing,

Yvonne

Here’s my Book Beginning.
