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!
About two days before I finished Lois H Gresh and Robert Weinberg’s Why Did It Have to be Snakes?: From Science to the Supernatural, the Many Mysteries of Indiana Jones, Gresh and Weinberg’s The Science of Stephen King: From Carrie to Cell, the Terrifying Truth Behind the Horror Master’s Fiction arrived on hold for me at the library, and when I was done with Snakes, instead of moving on to the next book in my TBR pile (Robert Durban’s The Pines) I just had to pick up The Science of Stephen King. So, without any further ado … here is today’s teaser:
The Science of Stephen King: From Carrie to Cell, the Terrifying Truth Behind the Horror Master’s Fictionby Lois H. Gresh and Robert Weinberg
(Hoboken: John Wiley & Sons, 2007)
Trade Paperback, 264 Pages, Nonfiction
MY TEASER: “In 1986, the U.S. government spent $42 million on developing defenses against infectious diseases and toxins, ten times more money than was spent in 1981. The money went to twenty-four U.S. universities, in hopes of developing strains of anthrax, Rift Valley fever, Japanese encephalitis, tularemia, shigella, botulin, and Q fever” (125).
