🎪 “𝐒𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥?” 🎪
I finished WELCOME TO THE FUNHOUSE edited by Kelly Brocklehurst and Jamie Stewart from Blood Rites Horror today.
Normally, carnival horror is not my jam. For most of my life I have actually avoided carnival horror, to include Stephen King’s IT. I remember as an adolescent being absolutely terrified of Tim Curry’s rendition as the famous Pennywise in the original movie trailer and I vowed never to watch it. There’s just something SO unsettling about carnival horror for me.
That being said, I bought a ticket for this show and wow did I get my money’s worth. There are some bona fide creepy and disturbing stories in the fourth short story anthology from Blood Rites Horror. It is heavy on nostalgia and ties in emotional coming of age themes.
My favorite stories in this selection of tales are:
THE GOLDEN TICKETS by Roxie Voorhees 🎫
ANNA AND ABBY by L. PINE 👯♀️
FAMILY OUTING by Briana Morgan 🏊♀️
If you enjoy a good scare set against the backdrop of abandoned amusement parks, traveling circuses or water parks, look no further. 🎡
For the sake of ratings I am giving this book 4 stars.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
