My Tease:
They came for me again last night.
As before, they quietly surrounded my bed, not saying a word. As before, I lay frozen in place, staring wide-eyed at their scorched and headless bodies. And as before, he leaned in close and whispered into my ear, “Actually, you and I are the same.”
My name is Fang Mu. Two years ago, something terrible happened, and I was the only survivor.

How about you? Got a tease? Tell me!
I would grab this book just because of the cover. I love the drippy font and the reflections on the table. Gave me a little shiver down my spine. You got my attention. Thanks for the great tease.
I know what you mean about the cover art! My tease is from the very beginning of the book. It’s that good right away!
Creepy and unsettling.
The thought had made his breath quick. He had anticipated this moment so keenly, planned
with every wit he possessed this rending of the veil. In moments they would be here-the ones
Kircher had called the Cenobites, theologians of the Order of the Gash. Summoned from their
experiments in the higher reaches of pleasure, to bring their ageless heads into a world of rain and
failure.
From “The Hellbound Heart” by Clive Barker
I read the story long before I saw the movie Hellraiser many years ago. It scared the every loving bejeezus out of me, and it’s still my favorite tale written by him.
I love Clive Barker. Yes, he can scare the pants off ya! LOL I remember this well.
