"The shrine. How does it operate? Do you just pray to it or do you have to bring it something or what?"
In this unsettling novella by Bentley Little, many strange occurrences unsettle the inhabitants of William Tell Circle:
For Helen, a knock on the door brings an unexpected visitor along with lavish gifts, and it seems all her wishes have been granted...but at what cost?
For young Frank and his friends, a fabled neighborhood shrine may answer their prayers for a girlfriend, just as their older brothers hope the same source will grant them money. But the older boys' improvised ritual turns into something horrible...
For Gil Marotta, a rescue mission to the shrine leads him into a chilling confrontation with the local witch...
The Circle tells the story of a normally quiet community, plunged into the kind of surreal nightmare only Bentley Little can deliver........FROM THE BACK COVER.

All three of the short stories in this novel are related. I liked two of the three stories as I thought the third story just was too weird for me. I like weird, I really do, but that story was way out there for me. I wanted to read a novel by Bentley Little for Halloween Bingo this year and time is ...
Too bizarre for my taste. I prefer more psychological horror but I can take the yucky stuff up to a point if there's some logical framework to it, but there wasn't really any to this story, or rather three somewhat linked stories.
