The Fear Factory

Rate this book
Revenge is a dish best served blood stained.

Mia is free. Jess is free. They’ve escaped the cult-like existence of the carnie compound, out into the wilderness. And they’re ready for payback.

Violent, grotesque payback.

Joining the colourful cast of clowns on the road, Mia and Jess set about putting everything right, ensuring that nothing survives their brutal vengeance.

The Fear Factory is a visceral, bloody, novella concluding the Carnie series. It has scenes unsuitable for many readers. Consider this a trigger warning for just about everything.

Ash has surpassed himself yet again, with the final book in the Carnie Trilogy, and it didn’t disappoint.

Three female victims, don costumes and go on a vengeful rampage, dishing out their own kinda retribution on the killer clowns.

This was a lot of fun, with all the usual delights we’ve grown to love with Ash’s books...lots of torture, blood, gore, sex and humour...with a huge dose of revenge, in this third and final addition.

Obviously this has all the trigger warnings, so not for the easily offended, so be warned!!

Highly recommend!!

Beware of the clowns!! 🤡

The last book in the "Carnie" trilogy, and this one just might be my favorite!

This is a straight up revenge story, following the two survivors from the first and second books. I wanted nothing more than for our leading ladies to cause as much destruction as possible, and they absolutely delivered!

Ericmore really did an amazing job on ending this trilogy.

4/5

Good read!

The top began to fall, and soon enough the tent collapsed down on top of the scaffolding inside. The rooms inside burning, the dry straw on the floor nothing more than a kindling for a human flesh barbeque. A good old fashioned smoking, charring the meat. And the three women watched. Mia smiled, slightly. Blinking away the tears that formed, because of the smoke, of course. The dark haze blocking the moonlight, as the three of them retreated towards darkness. “Where the fuck are we?” Jess asked.

A solid wrap up for the trilogy.

Full of female rage and revenge. Im glad we got to see the girls ruin the carnies in this final book, however it did feel a little rushed and repetitive at times.
I adored the first 2 and this one just didn't quite give the 4⭐️ feel of the others.
It ended abruptly and I was hungry for a finish and we also didn't find out what happened to Terrys friend and his on the night hook up? Were they in a van? Were they dead?
None the less still a trilogy I will recommend.

Girls just wanna have fun

What's worse then rapey killer clown running a circus show..... women becoming clowns and getting there revenge. This is hard hitting trigger warnings book. Mr ericmore as usual never fails to deliver! Good oooon girls!! Get him! Get him! And woooooosssshhhh It finishes because you blinked to fast and missed it because your Brain can't comprehend how fast and action packed it was. Burn baby burn ...but is this discount inferno finished?

I really thought I was gonna like this and I hate to leave a negative review for something, but it actually ended up being a drag to get through. I really didn’t enjoy it, it felt like every scene was the same and it got really old really quickly. It’s such a shame because I’ve really liked everything else by this author. This one just wasn’t for me!

Ash Ericmore has such a great way of incorporating grossness, horror, humor and straight up WTF!?

Highly recommend the Carnie series

These clowns are creepy, hostile and sick.
They didn't care about who you were, they would have sex and was brutal about it.
Blood and gore around every corner.
I enjoyed this book.

See clowns a whole different way that's for sure.

I highly recommend this book.

So, I didn't expect to read the words "clown juice" next to eachother, but here we are. The atmosphere of this book is quite different from the two previous ones, but it is no less gory and gruesome. Revenge takes a bigger place, and it's really fun!

This was easily my favourite of the three Carnie books because I love a female revenge story. Still gross and visceral but in the saw “so ridiculous it’s funny” kind of way. Love this as an ending to the series

This last book is like the revenge/karma that the clowns have coming to them. Jess and Mia are some bad chicks, and show these clowns they should have never messed with them!!

Revenge took a female turn.

Good little book, tying all of the characters together was a ‘nice’ ending. As nice as an extreme clown horror book can get

Unfortunately, this book felt too repetitive for me. I definitely enjoyed the first two in the trilogy much better.

Great but not a well written as the first 2. Felt a bit rushed without attention to details. Good story. Like a good revenge story but a lot of the comments about the clowns were very repetitive.

The final book in the Carnie trilogy and it was a full blown sweet and very creative revenge.

Look, if you’ve got all those props just lying around, you may as well use them!

A clown slams a cricket bat to the side of the head, caved in, a tongue bitten by the impact, the tongue slipping out. A female clown stabs the cricket bat welding clown, his intestines escaping like runaway sausages. Welcome to fear factory. Two city girls captured and escape now wear clown outfits and seek revenge on these cannibal carnie fucks, none of them are safe. Cocks sliced off, screams suppressed by generators and carnie activity. These girls are having too much fun cutting open chests exposing lungs and hearts. More intestines ladle out. A skull stomped on relentlessly, yellow brain gravy oozes out, her foot stuck until she finally pulls it out like being in mud. Kill them all, in the worst town in England, Slough.
