Teaser Tuesdays: The Dead Path























"Haunted," he whispered.
 The word hung in the air like despair in a dying man's bedroom.  It was still hanging, as if it were itself a ghost, when Nicholas sucked it back in with a gasp.

 p.g 14, The Dead Path by Stephen M. Irwin.

The Dead Path is the chilling debut novel of author Stephen M. Irwin.  Visit later today for my review of The Dead Path and tomorrow for my interview of Stephen M. Irwin and international giveaway for one hardcover copy of The Dead Path!

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do 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 and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

  14. Something about the style of writing in that teaser reminded me of Patricia McKillip - who really has a way with words. This one was deliciously creepy. :)
