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! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
DIFFERENT SEASONS by Stephen King
(page 131 of paperback)
“Yes. I saw. We all saw what happened to those unwilling or unable to run before the wind and wait for the storm to end. What we did then was the right thing. For that time and that place, it was the right thing. I would do it again. But…”
“…but I don’t wish to speak of it, or even think of it. What we did was motivated only by survival, and nothing about survival is pretty. I had dreams…” He slowly took a cigarette from the box on the TV. “Yes. For hears I had them. Blackness, and sounds in the blackness. Tractor engines. Bulldozer engines. Gun butts thudding against what might have been frozen earth, or human skulls. Whistles, sirens, pistol shots, screams. The doors of cattle cars rumbling open on cold winter afternoons.”

I can’t remember the last time I read a Stephen King book; I get creeped out easily, so that probably has something to do with it. LOL And, that teaser you shared only served to re-confirm that fact! Ooh, plus his novels are usually super long, and I am lazy. I’m just full of excuses today, aren’t I? Still, I hope you LOVE Different Seasons. 🙂
One of my favorites. Nice choice. 🙂

Sounds awesome. I might be bias though… LOVE King!
I just checked my bookshelves and I have this one. But I don’t think I’ve read it. How did that happen?!! LOL
