Boring trailer.

Well, a watcher, do let us know when your novel is nominated for a prestigious award, so we can critique the trailer for it.

I remember that song from the purple songbook.
"Let's watch how we walk and watch how we talk."
And I think the next part was, "That thus we may be alert and wise, buying out the opportune time since this world in Satan lies."
But I may have mixed them up.
Crazy what I remember from all of those years ago...

Thanks, Scully:
The trailer is visually and aurally stunning; the text may be enigmatic, yet it has served to whet my appetite.
I WANT MORE!
How's that for a descriptive blurb?
