[bksvol-discuss] Re: now scanning ...

Hey Cindy,

These synopses I equate to movie trailers. Sometimes they are a very accurate portrayal of a good work, sometimes they get you rexpectations up and you are disappointed by the book or film. I've definitely had some winners and some losers when scanning books, we'll see how this one turns out.

Scott,

Even reading the synopses of the books you scan scares
me. The first sentences, which catch my eye, prompt me
to read, but then  get the shivers. smile. I think
I'll stop when I read the titles of the subject line.

The Hour Before Dark

By

Douglas Clegg

As children, they played the Dark Game...

When Nemo Raglan's father is murdered in one of the
most vicious killings of
recent years, Nemo must return to the New England
island he thought he had
escaped for good, Burnley Island...and the shadowy
farmhouse called
Hawthorn. But this murder was no crime of human
ferocity. What butchered
Nemo's father
may in fact be something far more terrifying -
something Nemo and his
younger brother, Bruno, and sister, Brooke, have
known since childhood.

There are secrets buried on Burnley Island.

Within the rooms of Hawthorn, beautiful Brooke
Raglan has begun to go mad.
She sees faces at the windows and wanders the night,
trying to find what she
believes is a monster.

Bruno Raglan has wiped the memory of a terrible
event from his mind. Now he
compulsively picks apart Hawthorn and discovers that
within its walls lies a
forbidden secret.

As he unravels the mysteries of his past and a
terrible night of his
childhood, Nemo witnesses something
unimaginable...and sees the true face of
evil...while
Burnley Island comes to know the unspeakable horror
that grows in the
darkness.
