Short Story Press Presents Paid to Scare

Short Story Press presents "Paid to Scare", by Jasmine Bowen.

Kingdom Come is the most successful amusement park in the country, and every Halloween, the park turns into a haunted event with hundreds of actors to scare guests silly.

• It’s more than just costumes and makeup and playing make-believe for eight hours a night.
• Follow Jocelyn and Johnny, the king and queen of Kingdom Come, through a typical night performing at Fright Nights.
• The scariest thing in the park could be some of the guests they encounter: missing children, illness, pickpockets, and inebriated, violent guests.
• Being an actor is more than just playing make-believe. As Jocelyn and Johnny get ready for the day, they soothe young performers, deal with personality clashes, and develop keen senses to watch out for danger.
• Follow Jasper, the youngest performer at the park, a zombie on Rollerblades, as he scares guests senseless and entertains children.
• Follow Todd, a docile contortionist who considers taking his career in another direction when he gets an offer he can’t seem to refuse.
• Follow Billy, the childlike clown who never harms a fly, but is harmed himself.
• Peek behind the scenes as rivalries and clashing personalities surface in the 400-person cast.
• For the performers of Fright Nights, there is never a dull moment.
