Susanne Leist (susanneleist) | 78 comments Come One, Come All to the Greatest Book on Earth!
The games will be dark.
They will be scary.
For The Dead take no hostages.
Stand back.
Eyes wide open.
And enjoy!

Hello. My name is Susanne Leist. My book, The Dead Game, is a paranormal thriller with vampires, humans, and human vampires. The action takes place in a small town, called Oasis, on the coast of Florida. Linda and her friends are caught in a deadly game with whomever is controlling their town. They are led down dark pathways, where they must save their town from the evil forces at play.

Susanne Leist (susanneleist) | 78 comments End House stands alone at the edge of the forest, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. It has a long and dark history. The residents of Oasis are invited to a party at this deserted house. They are hesitant to go. But they do. Their lives are changed forever. If you received such an invitation, would you go? What would you expect to find?
Be creative. Win a kindle copy of The Dead Game.

Susanne Leist (susanneleist) | 78 comments CHARLES WOLF is the villain of the book. The strongest of his kind in the world. A leader with one weakness--his love for Linda. He's arrogant, vicious, and focused. What do you think Wolf looks like? Is he human or not?
Win a kindle copy if you dare to take on Wolf and live to tell us how.

Susanne Leist (susanneleist) | 78 comments Linda is torn between two men--vampire vs. human vampire.

One hot. One cold.

Linda finds Todd Morrison enticing but also mysterious and a little suspicious. She doesn’t know if he is involved in the deaths and disappearances in town. He’s too friendly with the strange residents living in the woods behind town. They appear only a night. They hold secret parties at their lavish homes. He's much too aloof for her taste. But he is gorgeous with those dark, brooding eyes...

Charles Wolf is dangerous and too arrogant for her liking. But he's drawn to her and she to him.

Which man will Linda choose? And why?

Best answer wins a Kindle copy of my book.

Susanne Leist (susanneleist) | 78 comments My passions run deep.
My hatred grows strong.
My revenge lasts forever.
Don’t cross me.
Don’t anger me.
And don’t ever taunt me.
I am Wolf.

My cold fingers will run down her hot body.
She will wake to the sight of my glowing eyes.
She will experience passion not human.
And she will yearn for much more.
The dark prince will take her in his arms
And place her on his black steed.
They will ride off into the sunset,
Leaving memories of her old life far behind.
I am Wolf.

What does the poem say about Wolf? Is he to be trusted?
Will this turn into a love story or a horror story for Linda? I want to hear your predictions and win a Kindle copy of The Dead Game.

Susanne Leist (susanneleist) | 78 comments I am presently writing book 2 of The Dead Game series. The Dead return to Oasis with a vengeance. They bring horror to a new level. Where do they meet? Are they growing in power abroad? These and many other questions will be answered.

But I need a title for the second book. I would like to use "The Dead" in the name. Whoever gives the best answer will win a signed paperback copy of The Dead Game. I might even use it as the title of my book.

Thinking caps on everyone!

Susanne Leist (susanneleist) | 78 comments Three doors are waiting to be opened in the basement of End House. After trudging through a pool of water with descending circular saws and falling cages, Linda and her friends must find a way out of the evil house. One of the doors leads to the outside. The other two don’t. What would you expect to find behind these two doors? You are only limited by your imagination.
Again the best answer wins a kindle copy of The Dead Game.

Good luck!

Susanne Leist (susanneleist) | 78 comments I think someone has that title. I saw it on Twitter. I like having 3 words. I've been going crazy with finding a title.

Rebekah stepped into the dining room, expecting to find a group of people sitting around an ornate table and discussing irrelevant things over carefully crafted food.

The only thing she guessed correctly was the ornate table. It stood in the center of large room with tattered walls that had paint peeling down their sides like brittle bits of died skin.

Only one chair remained, overturned near the door. What initially seemed to be carvings were actually deep gouges like many claws had torn at it... and whoever had been unlucky enough to be sitting in it judging from the dark red stains embedded in the wood.

Rebekah stepped away and repressed a shudder as she stepped toward the table. The table had actually carvings, intricate scenes of people with impossibly twisted faces dancing among stunted trees.

The table was set with fine white China and a large platter in the center, piled high with the remains of a meal long past fresh.

Rebekah held her nose and took a closer look at the meat. While most was a decaying mess, she noticed a few definite shapes, like a finger and the round circle of someone's scalp, a few strands of red hair still clinging in spots.

She stared for several seconds, trying to get her mind restart. Just as she was about to scream, Rebekah felt a hand on her shoulder.

Claws dug into her flesh and drew her back, onto something that felt nearly human shaped. It drew a hand across her mouth, cutting off the scream she hadn't been aware she had started.

"Welcome my succulent treat," it said in a low growl. "It has been too long since we have had fresh meat."

I would have to say he probably appears deceptively human but isn't really. He's probably downright terrifying.

It tells me he is a man not to be crossed. Usually men like that shouldn't be trusted either. My gut says it won't go well for her. But on the other hand... Who knows?

He is. He has a house in the forest with a man eating plants and bats.

Behind door number one we find what looks like a medieval torture room with victims in various states of dismemberment. Both dead and alive.

Behind door number two we find victims being drained dry like a cow in a slaughterhouse.
