When I was fourteen, I thought a lot about killing myself--it's a hobby today, but at age fourteen it was a vocation. On a September morning, just after school started, I'd gotten Diane's .44 Magnum and held it, babylike, in my lap for hours.
p.153 from Dark Places by Gillian Flynn
____________________________________________________________________
I am a survivor of a brutal murder that wiped out my mother, and two sisters. I helped put my brother Ben behind bars. The money that people sent to me because they felt bad has run out and I don't know what to do. So, I've decided to help out (for money of course) The Kill Club. And now I'm questioning if my brother was the killer after all?
~ Dark Places by Gillian Flynn
I really enjoyed Dark Places (great teaser). Here is mine from another (semi-creepy book):

Wowwwwwww....that's pretty deep! Sounds good! :):):):):):):):):):)
ReplyDeletePretty heavy! Dark Places for sure!
ReplyDeleteNice teaser.
The title is fitting for this one..Dark Places, definitely sounds like a dark book! I'm needing light these days...enough dark in my personal life!
ReplyDeleteThat is a rather dark place, isn't it. Good choice!
ReplyDeleteMy teaser is here.
Wow intense teaser!!
ReplyDeleteYikes, that sounds a bit grim! Hope you're enjoying the book. (It's definitely not one I'd read!)
ReplyDeleteOh, that's a dark place for sure! Great teaser.
ReplyDeleteI've heard a ton of good stuff about this book (and Sharp Things also), but I don't know if I have the stomach for it. Your tease definitely made me re-think my earlier dismissal of the book. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThat is some teaser! T think the book is aptly named, don't you? Hope you're enjoying what must be a tough read. (?)
ReplyDeleteA dark book. Gotta check it out!

Are you enjoying it?
ReplyDeleteWow, Dark Places sounds dark indeed!
ReplyDeleteWow! what a story line. read my teaser here
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like the book lives up to it's title.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! What a depressing situation. Not sure this is one I'd take on. But the teasers certainly were something to think about.
ReplyDeleteDark Places sounds very sad.
ReplyDeleteWow, that sounds like an intense book to read. Hope you are enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteNow that is dark. Intriguing though...
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like a really dark book. I'm not sure I could read it, but I do really enjoy the way that's phrased: a hobby now, but once a vocation. What an interesting way of describing that preoccupation.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, my own teaser is at Bookishgal.
That's some teaser. REally makes me want to know what happens in this book.
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser! I look forward to your review soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely intrigued. Can't wait for your review.
ReplyDeleteOh wow...that definitely sounds dark!
ReplyDeleteVery dark, very dark indeed.
ReplyDeleteWow. What a teaser! I had not heard of Dark Places. I wonder if it is too dark for me to read right now. I am trying to stay away from anything too dark while I am still dealing with my father's death. I think I could add it to read next year so I won't forget about it!
