Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted at The Purple Booker.
Anyone can play along by doing the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers.
“Literature, Dr Polidori, is my natural form of survival. I recommend that you try it: try eating the books you read.”
( ~ The Merciful Women by Federico Andahazi, Kindle Edition, 2000)
[This is the second novel from the best-selling Argentine author of The Anatomist, and it’s a brilliant and at times chilling retelling of the birth of the Gothic novel. The blub tells it all:It is Switzerland, 1816. Percy Shelley and his wife Mary, and Byron’s physician Dr Polidori are ensconced in the Villa Diodati. Polidori enters a Faustian pact with Annette Legrand, where she will produce a vampire tale for him. What can he, in return, offer this ghostly female predator? A must-read for all the Byron-lovers out there.]
