Scenes From The Carnival Lounge Michael J Picco

There are fates worse than death. Far, far worse fates, indeed... Scenes From The Carnival Lounge is a collection of odd tales featuring all manner of dreadful fates. Here you'll explore that strange shadow world between waking and sleep; that twilight where angels whisper to their avid acolytes; where immortality and revenge come at an immense cost; where love and betrayal cross paths with deadly consequences; where things long-buried and lost come back to dreadful life. So, come and explore the Carnival Lounge and remember: that which does not kill you only makes you... stranger. Table of Contents:
