Vampire Circus (2012)

A book from the outlet, brand new: It might exhibit minor cosmetic flaws, like slight scratches on the cover, some creasing from storage, or slightly yellowed pages due to the duration of storage.In the small, declining rural community of Shettle, crime and misfortune abound. When the Circus of Nights rolls into town, the residents are inexplicably drawn to it, as if under a spell. Only four men sense a grave danger. As the town becomes trapped within a 'sickness' barrier, preventing anyone from entering or leaving, these men must strive to protect their loved ones before time runs out.This gripping and fast-moving story is reminiscent of other memorable carnivals and circuses, like those of Cougar and Dark. Mark Morris skillfully transforms our innocent fascination into a captivating novel. — Black Static.Mark Morris has been a full-time writer since 1988, debuting with his first novel, "Toady," in 1989.
