A story of great evil coming to a small American town….
This menace comes in the form of a carnival and freak
show- full of mysterious and terrifying ‘people’.
A traveling lightning rod salesman warns of an
oncoming storm-
Two boys with a appetite for adventureAlways getting into trouble, sneak out one night to
explore the late arriving carnival…
Jim
Nightshade

But when the two boys decide to go into a tent that is off
limits…..
They see something they weren’t meant to see-
Eager to keep the boys quiet- the carnival owner tries to
lure them inside…. Promising them free rides and
prizes-
Planning to dispose of them when they enter….
But when the boys decline his offer….
He and his crew of freaks stop at nothing to shut the
two boys up.
The Dust Witch marks their
homes so that dark may find
them.
After this close call, the boys, confide in Mr. Holloway,
then leave their homes in fear for their and their families
lives.
Also known as “The
Illustrated Man”
I am Mr. Dark…
Where
are the
boys?
A deadly game of cat and mouse ensues, leading Jim,
Will, and Mr. Holloway deeper into the dark past of the
carnival- revealing that something wicked is truly about.
Leading to a shocking ending that will make you never
go to a carnival again!
