“Stow it and keep moving. We need to get the Rialto boy and find some backup.”

     Tulls looked at the pawn shop as they passed. Layers of dust covered the multitude of display items in the window.

     …at the dozen guitars masked in shadow….

     …each with a neatly severed arm wired to it.

– from “The Lost”

 

     Wherever light exists, shadows wait just out of sight. In those dark places Polymath Press brings you sixteen tales of terror by author Henry Snider.

     Within this collection…

     Honeymooners travel across Utah only to discover something ancient awakening, addiction separates a couple when one dark vice replaces another, a woman wakes in a serial killer’s cage, a dimensional doorway to another world bleeds into our reality, Union soldiers find themselves hunted in the fields surrounding a Virginia plantation, Chicago firefighters are at ground-zero for a biblical apocalypse, and ten other tales to send your dreams to a darker place.

     This collection also includes a special preview of Henry Snider’s forthcoming novel, Drive-In Feature.

One of the many things I love about this collection is the versatility of the author. Mr. Snider handles science fiction as well as he handles horror, historical pieces, and crime. Each story is a gem in its own right, highly polished and magnificently set.

Fifteen tales of dark attractions just waiting for the next wary soul to offer the price of admission. SHOOT the Freak – win a prize! HAVE your caricature drawn? The price is right! GAZE upon the wonders our Oddities tent conceals! TRY the Ferris Wheel – it’s the ride of a lifetime! WATCH the big top’s center ring fill with beasts beyond imagination SEE a reflection of your darkest desires! LIVE in a world where maniacal clowns rule the night! These are just some of the nightmares this carnival has to offer.

The stories in Carnival of The Damned all read fresh and original and they are very effective at instilling dread into the reader.  There is not a bad tale in the bunch and I recommend it highly.
