My Tease for this week is from

Growl

My Tease from 17% in the eBook.

Mom and Dad (and Meemaw, if around) would roll their eyes when Nana started the story, but I never did. I loved to listen to her sweet southern voice paint a vivid picture of her earlier life, even if it was a load of hog swallow like Daddy said.

Synopsis

My name is Sheryl Ilene Newcomb. And yes, my initials are S.I.N. A funny little piece of whimsical humor my parents found amusing when I arrived.

Then, it turned out to be true. Looking back with wiser eyes now, my family and I concluded that the events leading up to my transformation started the summer I turned nine. But the day we realized there was a problem, and no turning back, was a week before I started my senior year at Junction City High. The day the fangs and claws appeared and the monster inside of me emerged.

When mutilated corpses appeared near a pile of brush down by Caney Creek, everything changed. Because evil woke up and growled, its ominous rumblings heard by every living thing in Locasia County, Mississippi.

I’ll be reviewing this on January 15th. Can’t wait to share!

It’s filled with wonderful quotes like this and so much more than a horror story.

Thanks so much for visiting fuonlyknew!

    I’m torn. I’m not good with horror, but the teaser and the blurb has such a wonderful voice!

    Thanks for having stopped by my blog!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      The writing is wonderful. The horror isn’t a huge part of the story. It’s a lot about family and hope, and tradition too.

  24. Oh, it’s set in Mississippi! Cool. That’s where I live. Sounds interesting. I’ll have to check it out!

  25. Thanks for stopping by my blog! Your TT sounds really interesting – I ‘ve only caught a glimpse of Nana and I already want to know more, she sounds sweet!

  26. Hi Laura,

    When you said that this is so much more than a horror story, I just had to check it out in more detail.

    Whilst probably not one for me, the synopsis was so interesting and brought your teaser lines to life. I also love that cover art, it really creates an atmosphere and sets the scene before you even get to the first page.

    Thanks for sharing,

    Yvonne
