Midway of Fear

Step right up, ladies and gents. Come stroll down the midway. Stop at the freak show tent where gaudy posters advertise the unbelievable sights to be seen within. "Shocking, seductive, sights you'll never forget," a carnival barker might add. "Come on in, the water's fine, friend." You want to see what's inside. You want to be shocked, but only for a little while, just long enough to see what cruel fates unscrupulous lives can play before you return to your normal life, no worse for wear. Or are you afraid that once inside, you may never escape? You'll never know until you test those icy waters of doubt, so take the plunge. These twenty-four tales of suspense, fright, and seduction provide a crazy quilt of short stories. You'll encounter frightening females, derelict detectives, confused cowboys, ghastly ghosts, and even a bad bird. Add this to your collection of terrifying tales alongside Carnival of Nightmares because your ticket has been punched and he's waiting for you again.
