It’s Halloween, and the carnival has come to town.

The gates open at sunset, and the attractions are all one of a kind. Faery illusions caper under the big top while a demon hunts monsters on the midway. A psychic delivers actual messages from the dead and a real ghost lurks and laughs inside the haunted house. A werewolf plays Halloween tricks, a succubus learns the delights of a human Halloween, and a vampire hypnotizes his future prey.

Those who go to the carnival and come back have tales to tell long after the tents are gone. Those who go and never come back... well. There are stories that linger about them, too.

Monsters, magic and mischief abound in these thirteen short stories about the Midnight Carnival.
