Teaser Tuesday- The Haunted Mesa by Louis L'Amour

Teaser Tuesdays are hosted by Should Be Reading. It asks us to:

(1) Grab our current reads.

(2) Let the book fall open to a random page.

(3) Share two (or three) teaser sentences from that page somewhere between lines 7 and 12 (avoiding spoilers).

We're also supposed to share the book title and author so others can find the book themselves.

Here's my teaser for today:

"Where will they take him?"

"It is a bad place, a place of fear. It is an old place, a place that was there before we entered into the Fourth World, your world."

This is from The Haunted Mesa by Louis L'Amour. The main character is Mike Raglan, a man who specializes in disproving suspected hauntings and other reported paranormal phenomenon. When his friend, Erik Hokart, disappears in the American Southwest, Mike investigates and becomes more and more concerned that he may have found some real paranormal activity this time.

This book was recommended to me by my husband. He says it doesn't really count as a Western because it has a science fiction flavor. I think that anything by famed Western writer Louis L'Amour counts and am using this as my first book in the Themed Reading Challenge by caribousmom. I have a ways to go if I'm going to make it through these Westerns during the 6-month challenge period!
