Children of a Peculiar Nature...



Today I'm highlighting the trailer for the book I'm reading: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. I'm a sucker for dark fairy tales, and with the music in the background and the "story telling" approach to the narrative, all it took was one viewing of this video, and this book moved to the top of my to read list. Goes to show what a good trailer can do. :)




If you know of a trailer that's dark, melancholy, creepy, or atmospheric, or if you have one you would like me to consider posting sometime, please leave a link in the comment section.  (I prefer videos that don't exceed 3 minutes.)

Thanks for dropping by and happy weekend!

  2. Wasn't that cool? :) I'm about halfway through the book now, and it's pretty creepy good. A little different than I expected, but I'm still enjoying it.

    Thanks for popping in, my dear goatling! <3

  8. I love this! I almost bought the book at my local B&N, but alas, I was there to pick up Daughter of Smoke and Bone so I didn't get this. Will do the next time I go.

    Thanks for sharing the trailer. That's really well done. ;)

  11. I saw that trailer awhile ago, but I had to stop and watch it again. Love it. I've got the book on my TBA list and am curious to see what you think once you've finished.

    I posted a youtube on my blog awhile ago which has the same kind of feel, vaguely. It inspires me, but unfortunately isn't a trailer. I guess I'll have to write the story :)

  12. Sarah~ Haha. I know, right? It sucked me in from the first chord of mystical music. :)

    Pat~ I remember this post! That was such a beautiful video. I might have to post it on mine (with ref to you of course, for helping me find it) just so my readers can see it. LOVE it. And that song, 18 by Moby, is so atmospheric and moving.

  16. It's a very cool concept. :) The guy wrote the story using a bunch of creepy pics he found, and they're all inside the book for extra eye candy. Thanks so much for stopping in and for the follow!
