There's something special about carnival-themed gothic horror - that unique combination of wonder and terror can really get under your skin… and linger long after the story ends. It's one of my favourite genres, and Quill & Crow has pulled together a fantastic collection with Carnival Macabre.
Some of the contributors got very creative when integrating the carnival theme into their stories - prepare to be surprised. My personal favourite from the collection is Penny For Your Fortune by Katerini Koraki, but all of the stories are as equally fun and terrifying. So, horror enthusiasts - give it a go! (You’ll thank me later)
Quill & Crow sent me an ebook for review. (And I loved it so much I bought the paperback!)
