Teaser Tuesday 10/27

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!
  • Share the title & author, too, so that others can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser!
My teaser this week is from The Alchemaster's Apprentice by Walter Moers:
Echo groped his way to the back of the cellar and crouched down in a corner just as Ghoolion appeared in the doorway. The cellar was suddenly bathed in multicoloured light by the will-o'-the-wisp lantern in his hand.
Don't you just love the term will-o'-the-wisp?

  1. will o wisp - now how can I integrate that into my everyday vocabulary? I just used accolades the other day - twice! My friends were suitably astounded. :)

    My teaser is up too and showing some world building in a sci fi suspense romance story.

  10. I'm used to will-o-wisp, but it stills works wonderfully as a lantern image. Good teaser.
