All the Fear of the Fair: Uncanny Tales of Circus and Sideshow

£10.99

A circus escapee is haunted by remnants of their hypnotic act. An enchanted Ferris wheel pushes its magical gifts too far. 

Circuses, fairgrounds and their supernatural sideshows have become a staple of horror cinema and television. But stories of the fair are no safer, rife as they are with the ghoulish and outré, from the sinister figures of clowns and puppets to the crowds baying for a death-defying feat to veer into violence. Here to corral the most spine-tingling – and sometimes queasy – tales from this sub-genre, Ghostland author Edward Parnell enters the ring. Roll up! Roll up!

Why We Recommend this Book

All the Fear of the Fair gathers everything unsettling about the fairground after dark. Painted smiles, strange attractions, odd spectacle and the uneasy feeling that the machinery might have a will of its own... It’s a wonderfully atmospheric collection for readers who like their horror uncanny and theatrical, with that irresistible contrast between bright lights, childish wonder and something much darker waiting behind the canvas. 

Best of all, it is ideal inspiration for DMs and GMs running any fairground based game.
