“It was short, approximately four feet nothing, its skin a pale grey colour, and rough, like old tarmac on a road. Its eyes were big and round, reflective and multifaceted, and from its nose and mouth dribbled a pale brown liquid that looked for all the world like engine oil. I reached the obvious diagnosis.”
-p. 139 of Kate Griffin’s A Madness of Angels

I read this a while ago and I'm still of two or three minds about it. I hope you enjoy it.
Sounds like they should get out the bug spray!
Cool cover btw!
Oooo good one :)
If you get a chance, please check out my Teaser Tuesday :)
Very descriptive...
This books looks very interesting. I'll have to check it out.
Here's mine.
The obvious diagnosis? OK, first of all, I'm clueless. But secondly, those two words are great together. Like that teaser.
My teaser is here.
Ooh...slightly chilling but a GREAT teaser! My post: Cut to the Corpse
Awesome! Forms a great picture in my mind and yet I have no clue what I'm looking at! Here's my teaser from The Hollow.
Sounds gross. I wonder what the diagnosis is.
Now I want to know what the obvious diagnosis is.
I love these creepy kinds of teasers! Thanks!
AHHH! But what IS the obvious diagnosis?! I know, I know, I'll have to read it LOL
Yow! What is going on here? Good one!
Obvious, my ass! Great teaser! And congrats on 300+!

Hmm the obvious diagnosis that it's a...I've got no idea! :)
Sounds a bit creepy...not anything I would personally like to encounter!
Here are teasers this week!
Have a great day!

I want to know what the "obvious diagnosis" is! Great teaser :)
I like the narrator's attitude. Not scared or grossed out. Just resigned.
Great teaser!
If there is an obvious diagnosis to that, that's a bit of a worry. Having said that, it sounds a bit like how I feel about a big night of alochol :-(
Interesting teaser! And I like that book cover --- adding this one to the TBR list! :) My teaser's here
Oh...shivers! The cover is as much a draw for me as the teaser I think! Thanks for commenting at CKY...and thanks for posting this!
Wonder what kind of creature or thing that is. Great teaser!
This sounds like a great read. I have the first one on my list to get and try out. :) Hope you are enjoying it.
If you would like to stop by I did a teaser as well...

Just in case anyone still cares...the obvious diagnosis was a TROLL.
