Sideshow Exhibits
Four novellas from four modern masters of horror. Nearly 90,000 words of terror, adventure, and mystery.
From Gord Rollo, author of The Jigsaw Man and When Abby was younger, she was the victim of a sadistic ritual killer who stole her eyes, but only so that she could see into the world beyond death. Now she is eighteen and trying to put the horrors of her childhood behind her, working as a blind fortune teller in a traveling carnival and somehow capable of “seeing” the future through the colorful eyes she has tattooed on the palm of each hand. Unfortunately, her past is catching up to her as one day Abby has a vision of a young girl’s abduction which will lead her into the dark heart of a murder investigation…and a brutal killer she knows all too well.
In the latest tale from the acclaimed Cal Wild mythos by Bram Stoker Award Winner Gene O' The San Jo Kid is released by The Company after serving nearly three years frozen and lifeless for smuggling. He soon learns that his freedom will come with some strings. After being reunited with his enhanced animal companions–the crazy mastiff, All-American boy and the talking steed, Crazy Horse–the Kid assembles a motley team of outlaw specialists to pull the biggest heist of his career.
From Michael McBride, author of Bloodletting and Predatory Two years after the disappearance of her daughter, Vanessa still refuses to accept that her child is dead, even when the discovery of a young girl’s remains in the bayou appears to bring the search to a tragic end. But hope can be found in the strangest of places…
And from Tom Moran, author of The Problem With Franklin is a small farming community where nothing bad ever happens…until the carnival comes to town. When a night of fun turns nightmarish, two children set in motion a horrifying chain of events that could destroy their family.
