The air has grown crisp – October is here. With October comes autumn leaves, apple cider, and the siren call of The Dark Carnival.
Will you answer its call? Will you heed the beckon?
The doors are opening.
Will you leave with your life?
The Dark Carnival is calling, calling.
The doors are opening.
Will you leave with your life?

In this anthology, several authors and illustrators explore the dark and hidden dangers that lie within a carnival that has come to town. But it is no ordinary carnival. It's The Dark Carnival.
And when The Dark Carnival comes to town, there's no promise that anyone can leave...alive.

Excerpt
“What is it you think I’m after?”
He didn’t want to say what he was thinking. He knew it was stupid, the result of watching too much TV before he left home. But her eyes bore in on him, her amused half smile teasing him into saying something. “My soul.”
– Ring Toss, J. Elizabeth Hill
