Enjoyed the first two short stories in this anthology of circus tales.
Hop Frog by Edgar Allen Poe, 5⭐️ Gruesome, macabre, court jester material.
Satans Circus by Eleanor Smith, 3⭐️ Uncanny, vampiric, travelling circus.

A High Dive by L P Hartley 3⭐️ Strange but funny. All the atmosphere bulldozed by a big joke but I liked it.

Spurs by Tod Robbins 4⭐️ Men are grotesque

Wax Works by W L George 5⭐️ Who doesn’t love a waxwork horror story. Classic! And a bumbling police man who literally says “Now then, what’s all this?”

The Harlem Horror by Charles Birkin 4⭐️ Men are grotesque
