Judith Sonnet definitely knows how to set the mood and give the characters life. This novella even comes with additional short stories at the end to keep you going. They are all different and really make this a fun little read.
If you’re looking for a creepy, quick read then treat yourself to The Vanishing Barker! Just stay out of the funhouse.
