Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of booksandabeat.
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!

I won this gem quite some time ago from Fiktshun, in a box of books full of goodies that I slowly am picking my way through.
MY TEASE
“Okay,” I said, ‘but don’t call me kiddo. That’s what he calls me.” I jerked my head toward Horror House.
(page 148 of paperback)
GOODREADS BLURB
College student Devin Jones took the summer job at Joyland hoping to forget the girl who broke his heart. But he wound up facing something far more terrible: the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and dark truths about life—and what comes after—that would change his world forever.
A riveting story about love and loss, about growing up and growing old—and about those who don’t get to do either because death comes for them before their time—Joyland is Stephen King at the peak of his storytelling powers. With all of the emotional impact of King masterpieces such as The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption, Joyland is at once a mystery, a horror story, and a bittersweet coming-of-age novel, one that will leave even the most hard-boiled reader profoundly moved.

I know I read this as I read all of his books except a couple of his new ones, but I don’t remember it!
I’m really going to have to read something by Stephen King soon. I’m not sure why I haven’t before. Perhaps this is the one I’ll start with. Here’s my TT link: http://wp.me/p4DMf0-1g2
I have been ogling this one…I love some of SK’s books, and others, not so much. But this one could be right up my tree. Enjoy! Here’s mine: “THE CHILDREN”
I have this one on my Kindle for awhile. I really need to read it.
Really enjoyed this book. One of his better new ones. Great tease.
I haven’t read this one yet, but from your teaser, it seems like I should!
I haven’t read any of Stephen King’s books, but my husband and son are huge fans. Thanks for stopping by Reading Lark After Dark!

I haven’t read this book, but it sounds good!
Oooh.. interesting! I can understand why she doesn’t like it!
I don’t read Stephen King, but I do love the cover and totally get why people love him, haha. Thanks for sharing!
I want to thank everyone for their wonderful comments. I had been reading them, but did not have time to respond to each one individually. This was a fantastic read and I would have to say it is at the top of my Stephen King list!
