Welcome to The Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice.
This is a really fun meme!
The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader and find a sentence or a few (no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.
Then go over to Freda’s Voice and leave your link so we can visit your 56!

Clive Barker? I love Clive Barker! The cover is incredible, too. 🙂
Me too! Been a long time since I’ve read something by Clive. And that cover is awesome.

A whole lot of great authors and some new ones for me too!
omg Clive Barker and Neil Gaiman?? HOW ON EARTH DID I MISS THIS ONE???
I was lucky to come across it. I pre-ordered a copy too as the one I have now doesn’t have the illustrations.
Ooh I like that quote! Nice.
It’s a great scene. I wish I could have shared a bit more.
Sounds like a good one!
Like a whole lot of fun!
Probably not for me…but the title and the cover are very intriguing. Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
It’s so me. I’ve now read four stories and really enjoying this collection.
Clive Barker caught my eye, too! Enjoy…looks really good! Hope your having a great weekend 🙂
Mine too. And so many others!
I love that cover and the 56 sounds great. I hope you’re enjoying this one!
That cover is fetching isn’t it. I’m now several stories in and going great!
You’ve left me totally curious for more! 🙂
Have a great week ahead!
I did it to myself too! LOL
