It’s Tuesday, which means I have another tease for you. I hope you don’t get your panties in a bunch over this one, I am still on Bram Stoker’s Dracula. My interest in it comes and goes and I’m having a hard time getting through it. I REALLY hope to have it does by next time this week, but in the meantime, here’s where I am.
Page216: “The Thing in the coffin writhed; and a hideous blood curdling screech came from the opened red lips. The body shook and quivered and twisted in wild contortions; the sharp white teth champed together til the lips were cut and the mouth was smeared with a crimson foam.”
Hope you enjoy!

Awesome teaser!
ahhh, the original vampire . . . nicely done. read my teaser here
I love Dracula, give it a chance, I think you’ll end up liking it.
And Kaye, just as point of interest: Varney (1845; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varney_the_Vampire)predates Dracula by a good 50 years, so if anyone is the original vampire, it’s Varney.
Interestingly enough, my Teaser is vampire related too: http://bryansbookblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/teaser-tuesdays-colere-aux-morts.html
It’s growing on me!
That’s a great teaser! Mine is from Jo Graham’s Black Ships this week – a really excellent book. Here it is.
Wow, lots of vampire books being read lately! Nice to see the classic is as well! Nice teaser!
Thanks! I am so intrigued by vampire books and how different authors portray them. I read Twilight and The Historian (loved both for different reasons). Interview With A Vampire is on my shelf of To Be Read
Great teaser! Mine’s here and is from Julia London’s Summer of Two Wishes.
There is so much great descriptive language in that book. Excellent choice for a teaser.
My teaser is here.
Wow! Vivid and graphic. I really need to read this. Like, soon. So that I know the story that (sort-of) started it all. Great teaser!
You can check out mine (also from a classic) here.
That’s exactly why I read it!!! It took me forever, but when I needed a “D” Title for my A-Z Challenge, I knew exactly when I would get!
