Book Description
The Night Carnival waited for Angela through the woods down in the meadow on that rainy autumn night among the creeping fog. It’d been calling her her whole life but she hadn’t heard it until now. A widow whose life now holds little meaning, she’d come home after many years to dispose of her dead mother’s house and possessions. Alone. Walking among the eerie assortment of skill-game booths and tattered tents she’s strangely drawn in by the eerie calliope music and the mesmerizing inhabitants of a carnival the likes she’s never seen before. The carousel is alive with demonic steeds flashing their hooves. There are wraith like luminescent creatures lurking in the shadows along the midway; the Ferris wheel, aglow with thousands of twinkling lights, moves without human hands to control it, and the animals, lions, tigers and elephants, in the main ring have no human trainers. They’re much larger than they should be and seem to float. Then there are the sad-faced clowns who manipulate the crowds with only their eyes and minds. Night Carnival - A SHORT STORY: They and the other carnies are vampires. One–ancient, powerful, their leader Dominic–has been waiting for her…to make her his forever. He offers her what she’s never had before. Love. But is she willing to give up her humanity for this creature of the night; join her life to his and live among the vampires and shape shifters of the traveling carnival for eternity? Could she be happy as one of them? Is she willing to die for him?***

Book Description
Some call it purgatory, others know it as the in-between, but for those poor souls who are trapped there eternally, it is simply The Carnival -- a macabre mockery where night is never-ending, and a sadistic creature known as The Fool reigns unchallenged.And The Fool has one rule: No one leaves The Carnival. Ever.Christopher, the latest arrival thrust reluctantly through the gates, is certain that he doesn't belong there, and he's damn sure he's not staying. But if he's to stand any chance of getting out, he's going to have to trust a girl who can't possibly be what she claims. With her help, he must confront not only The Fool, but his own dark past.---WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:"A wild ride that urges you to consume the words as quickly as your brain can process.""I didn't know a book so macabre could be such a fun read.""The Carnival of Night is an excellent piece of modern fiction that is reminiscent of Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked this way comes."

Book Description
In this stunning work of historical fiction, the Booker Prize–nominated author of Jamrach’s Menagerie reimagines the incredible true story of Julia Pastrana, a woman branded a freak at birth. Although she was pronounced by the most eminent physician of the day to be “a true hybrid wherein the nature of woman presides over that of the brute,” Julia was fluent in English, French, and Spanish, and an accomplished musician with an exquisite singing voice. Alternately vilified and celebrated, all she wanted was for people to see beyond her hairy visage—and perhaps, the chance for love. When Julia meets a charming showman who catapults her onto the global stage, she believes that she has found true happiness at last. But the question of whether her lover truly cares for her—or if his management is just a new form of exploitation—lingers heavily. A deeply moving novel, in Orphans of the Carnival Carol Birch has crafted a haunting examination of how we define ourselves and, ultimately, of what it means to be human.

Book Description
This beautifully illustrated volume features work by leading writers and experts on carnival from around the world, and includes two stunning photo essays by acclaimed photographers Pablo Delano and Jeffrey Chock. Editor Milla Cozart Riggio presents a body of work that takes the reader on a fascinating journey exploring the various aspects of carnival - its traditions, its history, its music, its politics - and prefaces each section with an illuminating essay. Traditional carnival theory, based mainly on the work of Mikhail Bakhtin and Victor Turner, has long defined carnival as inversive or subversive. The essays in this groundbreaking anthology collectively reverse that trend, offering a re-definition of 'carnival' that focuses not on the hierarchy it temporarily displaces or negates, but a one that is rooted in the actual festival event. Carnival details its new theory in terms of a carnival that is at once representative and distinctive: The Carnival of Trinidad - the most copied yet least studied major carnival in the world.

Book Description
The erotic, surreal, and provocative stories of Last Night of Carnival, comprise an exile aesthetic, where the speaker is exiled from his homeland, from the stale middleclass values of his parents, and from dead pieties of previous generations that have become ossified in the culture. Romero creates a world as fantastic as any created by Kafka, Borges, or Calvino.

Book Description
Twenty years ago psychic Sarah Summers fled from the evil that lurked in the woods behind her childhood home after it killed most of her family, but a nasty divorce and financial hardships forced her back when nothing else could have. With her son, Jeremy, she returns to her inheritance, her grandmother’s dilapidated house, and tries to begin a new life. She meets a police detective, Ben, who falls for her, and she prays her fresh visions of bloodshed and death deep among the dark trees aren’t true. Then the murders begin again and Sarah is hurtled back into the familiar nightmare that has haunted her her whole life. The evil in the woods is awake again and this time it wants her last remaining brother, Jim; her son…and her. With Ben and Jim’s help can she defeat it this time…and live? * This was my first ever published paperback novel way back in 1984 and has been a fan favorite, of all my 29 books and 13 short stories, ever since.
