Carnival Kills

A Novel

🎡🔪 📖 "Perfect for fans of Texas Chainsaw, Clown in a Cornfield, and Saw, this retro slasher thriller delivers nonstop suspense, gruesome kills, and ‘80s horror nostalgia."

🔒💀 Now includes the chilling Lost Chapter — a never-before-seen sequence that teases the horrors to come in— the Carnival Kills Sequel!

In 1965, the infamous Red Hook Jack turned a small-town carnival into a blood-soaked nightmare, leaving behind a legacy of terror. His name became legend in Hollow Creek.

Now, nearly twenty years later—Spring Break, 1986—Maddie and her friends set out for a lakeside getaway, for a weekend of fun. However, on the last night of the trip, their dream vacation is turned into a waking nightmare when they visit the local run-down park, Hollow Creek's Carnival.

A copycat killer has emerged, reviving Red Hook Jack’s reign of terror. Trapped in a twisted carnival of death, Maddie and her friends find themselves unwilling players in a sinister game—one where every attraction hides a gruesome fate, and every game comes with deadly stakes.

As the body count rises and the carnival transforms into a slaughterhouse, Maddie must confront a horrifying truth: this isn’t just a random massacre. The motive? Revenge. And she’s stuck at the heart of it.

🎪 Step right up… if you dare. Welcome to Hollow Creek's Carnival—if the rides don’t kill you, the killers will.

All over the place

Not the worst horror story I’ve ever read, but I felt like I’ve seen everything they’ve did in here before. And not a huge spoiler, but the ending is just borrowed from the Saw sequels

Good story awful reader

This plot blurb had so much potential. I listened to it hoping for a good Halloween scare. The AI voice ruined it all. From poor pronunciation to lack of emotion and then some. Couldn’t tell where one character line ended and another began since voice modulation never happened. Maybe if it’s redone with an actual person reading it will get better ratings.

Love the story

I love the story and how it made me feel like I was right there

Love, love, love this horror book!!

Why is this not made into a movie for the big screen??!!! Love this audio book! The author, Caesar Daniels, did an amazing job bringing the reader back to basics. Horror basics!!! This audiobook is a mixture of movies such as Saw, Scream, Host and so on. Narrative was convincing as well. If you want a really scary novel, that keeps you on the edge of your seats, this is it! Story was great, performance was believable and overall audiobook was scary as hell. Great job to the author! Will read more from you of course.

Love a slasher book

Good plot and great twist at the end. However, I will never listen to an AI narrator ever again! incorrect pronunciation and monotone dialogue ruined it.
