The book trailer that made me want to write a book

Below is the book trailer for Maggie Stiefvater's SHIVER. There are some important things you should know before watching it:

1. I'm not a big fan of book trailers. I know, that's a weird way to intro a book trailer, right? But you'll understand why I'm telling you that when you get to #4. But don't look at that yet. Read #'s 2 & 3 first.
2. Maggie cut out all the lovely paper figures herself.
3. Maggie also composed the music herself.
4. After I watched this trailer last night, I couldn't stop thinking about it. The music and imagery haunted me. It made me want to tell the story of the emotions it evoked.

Now, I will share it with you:




Maggie is hosting a contest related to the trailer here which, although I've entered, isn't the reason I posted the trailer here. Something this evocative is too good to keep to oneself once discovered.
