- 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!
I have just started The Waking Dark by Robin Wasserman (about 2% in the digital arc).
Screams and screams and screams.
Rasping.
Moaning.
Again, again, the thunder of the gun.
And then nothing.
Summary (via Goodreads):
They called it the killing day. Twelve people dead, all in the space of a few hours. Five murderers: neighbors, relatives, friends. All of them so normal. All of them seemingly harmless. All of them now dead by their own hand . . . except one. And that one has no answers to offer the shattered town. She doesn’t even know why she killed—or whether she’ll do it again.
Something is waking in the sleepy town of Oleander’s, Kansas—something dark and hungry that lives in the flat earth and the open sky, in the vengeful hearts of upstanding citizens. As the town begins its descent into blood and madness, five survivors of the killing day are the only ones who can stop Oleander from destroying itself. Jule, the outsider at war with the world; West, the golden boy at war with himself; Daniel, desperate for a different life; Cass, who’s not sure she deserves a life at all; and Ellie, who believes in sacrifice, fate, and in evil. Ellie, who always goes too far. They have nothing in common. They have nothing left to lose. And they have no way out. Which means they have no choice but to stand and fight, to face the darkness in their town—and in themselves.
Look for The Waking Dark By Robin Wasserman September 10th 2013 by Knopf Books for Young Readers
Well, ain’t that a rather creepy set of lines or what? Nearly made me shiver!
So far the book is very creepy!
Wow, what a spooky quote! This book sounds good. Hope you’re enjoying it! 🙂

So far it has my interest for sure! Thanks for stopping by
Ok, that’s terrifying! Kind of scared to read it, now! :-O
I know…it creeped me out last night and I don’t suggest reading while trying to eat.
That’s one of those harsh reads.
Great teaser. Please check out my teaser.
Ooo! Creepy! Thanks for visiting our TT!
That quote made me shiver…. This looks like a very cool book. I haven’t heard of it but it would be something I would read in the day not in the night. Nightmares. LOL! Great teaser. 🙂
Great teaser, sounds so dark! Definitely a really interesting premise. At first I thought it was zombies just from the teaser haha. Enjoy your book!
Thanks for stopping by Book Munchies (:
Have you read any more today? Dying to know what you think!
Ohh, first time I read the summary. Love it! Love the teaser too 😀 I might need this book, hih.. <3 Thank you for sharing 🙂
Thanks for stopping by my review. I can completely see how it creeped you out. i’m the biggest chicken out there, but somehow, horror always seems unreal to me so I don’t get as scared….
I have this for review, too, but I got approved very recently, and so I haven’t had time to crack it open. So, instead, I DL’d the audio and will be starting it very soon. I think it’s going to make for an even creepier listen. 🙂 I can’t wait!!!
