Heat licked at Dale Hicks’s skin, excruciating and throbbing. Pain obscured his thoughts down a never-ending tunnel that twisted and turned, getting narrower and narrower. It burned in the most painful way he’d ever experienced. Opening his eyes, he stared around in terror. What happened? His surroundings sparked no sense of the familiar. He thought back to his last memory, yet it seemed so unattainable. He could almost reach out and touch it, but every time he mentally grabbed at it, the memories floated away, leaving a vast emptiness. The rough ground tore into his back, and he propped himself up against a stone wall behind him.
Red, flickering light illuminated the room. Fear shot down Dale’s spine. Something bad had happened.
A large figure came forward. Shadows rippled across the massive frame. Red eyes, sparking fire, focused on Dale. Large scales and protrusions dripped with liquid ooze. “You have arrived sooner than expected,” the creature rasped.
From page 69 of WIP -untitled (I don't come up with title until first draft is complete - but I am SO close!)

I like these paragraphs because they show something spooky that's coming my characters' way.

Okay, similar to the last challenge, please comment below.
What genre do you write and what influences your writing?
What is a secret thing you yourself look for when choosing the next book to read?
Optional: Currently Reading --(goodreads tag)
Optional: add tag line for current work.
Format as follows:
YA Paranormal Fantasy Author
Most of my ideas come from dreams, or feelings I get. I have an active imagination. I try to better my own writing by reading other authors in my genre and read carefully, taking note of the things I like about the book. Asking myself questions, why do I like it? What do I not like and why? I stick these questions and their answers away in my toolbox and try to implement them as best I can into what I write next. Always trying to one up myself.
I love immortal worlds, so if I had to choose a book, I'd pick immortal beings over ordinary human life. Also, I look for character development. I don't always need a fresh take on trope that works, sometimes I just need new people experiencing the freshness of developing relationships.
