Carnival Prey

Originally published in the collection Twisted Tales of Halloween Horror: Carnival of Carnage (brought to you by the Sisterhood of the Black Pen), Carnival Prey is now available to read solo.

Mamie has the perfect life. She gets to adventure with her partner, River, all around the world while entertaining the masses with their traveling carnival. Today is their one year anniversary and Mamie is CERTAIN that River is going to propose. But, instead of a ring, River pulls out a journal, encouraging Mamie to read it. Quickly, she realizes that the journal is her own, and it tells a different story of their relationship than what she remembers.

This new version paints a crimson beginning; one of betrayal, lost friendships, and death.

Given such Goodreads reviews as:

"[Carnival Prey, along with others] stuck out to me the most...pretty sure I'm just bias to the character names."

"My personal favorite."

"I loved the mystery and the way the story unfolded towards the end..."

"I'm not sure if i didn't understand what was happening but I read it twice! And still didn't understand what was happening or what happened...at all..."

"If you enjoy creepy horror shorts with spice and...LGBTQ representation, this is [for you] if you're looking for a spooky time."

"...I really enjoyed Carnival Prey, which many others did not like because it is not a straight forward story. But that's what I loved about it."

"I'm not quite sure what I just read, I'm thoroughly confused and feeling a little crazy. Maybe that's the point?"

"It's anniversary night! A journal with events that one doesn't seem to remember? Eerie!"

"I was not sure what path it was taking me down, but it did keep my interest. Kind of read like poetry."
