Crackaroo

by Gary Lee Vincent

A kangaroo on crack with a knock-out attack!

Step right up to the twisted world of Crackaroo , where the thrills of the circus hide a dark, deadly secret. Forest ranger Gary Bentley thought he was just enjoying a night out with his wife at Madam Vega’s Traveling Show. But when the circus's star attraction—a seemingly playful kangaroo named Sydney—accidentally consumes a dangerous street drug known as “Agent Orange,” Sydney becomes the most terrifying creature imaginable.

As Gary uncovers the sinister underbelly of the circus, he finds himself in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with a drug-crazed kangaroo, leaving a trail of carnage in her wake. With the lives of his friends hanging by a thread, Gary must face off against the unstoppable beast while drug dealers and addicts desperately fight over the dangerous substance that has turned Sydney into a monstrous killer.

Will Gary survive the night and stop the madness, or will he become the next victim in Sydney’s blood-soaked rampage? Enter the Big Top if you dare—but beware, not everyone will make it out alive.

"Crackaroo"—where the circus isn’t just fun and games, it’s a fight for survival.
