teaser tuesdays: the thin excutioner

Written by Darlyn At Tuesday, July 06, 2010



Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along!




From The Thin Executioner by Darren Shan

"The executioner swung his axe - thwack! - and another head went rolling into the dust. There was a loud cheer. Rashed Rum was the greatest executioner Wadi had ever seen and he always drew a large crowd, even after thirty years."

page 9.

What's your teaser for Tuesday??

    Interesting! I remember reading somewhere that being an executioner is a very physically demanding job because heads are actually pretty difficult to lop off. (Okay, was that TMI? LOL! Sorry!)

    Oh dear. I get the feeling that there's a lot of gore in this one? Or maybe just make that death. Any which way, it's probably not for me, but it sounds quite...interesting. Nice teaser!

    Thanks for visiting my blog!
