Teaser Tuesday: The Other Side (anthology)

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 and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My teaser this week comes from an anthology. The Other Side contains stories by J. D. Robb, Mary Blayney, Patricia Gaffney, Ruth Ryan Langan, and Mary Kay McComas. I bought it for the J. D. Robb story but am enjoying the others too.

The music didn't wake up Astra, the world's laziest terrier, and it only woke Henry gradually. gently, like a whisper in his ear. Piano music. Light as air, a quick, melodic tune. Gypsy music.

And thus is the skeptical ghost-hunter awakened when spending the night in a haunted house.
