Carnival of Horrors

By: Thomas Emmett

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Greg Matthews is terrified of clowns. He has been afraid of them for as long as he can remember. He can’t even handle the thought of them. Lucky for him, his little brother Timmy loves clowns. He thinks they are hilarious. That’s why their house is full of clown costumes, rubber chickens, and squirting flowers. That’s also why their parents are taking them to the carnival for Timmy’s birthday.

Timmy is the youngest, and the baby in the family. Anything Timmy wants, Timmy gets, and Timmy wants to see clowns. What should be a fun night at the carnival, however, quickly turns deadly. Greg has become separated from the others, and gets lost in the House of Mirrors.

He quickly finds out that this is no ordinary carnival. Clowns aren’t supposed to have claws, and jagged teeth. And why are they licking their lips? Are they hungry for the huge cotton candy cocoons that are hanging from the ceilings? Or perhaps the popcorn that seems to move all by itself? Or maybe they prefer something a little more alive? Is Greg actually going to be able to survive this birthday party, or will it be his last? Find out, in Carnival of Horrors.
