Description

Readers beware the rides may take your arms!

You are traveling into a dark and humorous place. We start you off with light, soft stories, but be warned. You will find yourself falling into the ever darker, gorier, and more demonic stories with each passing story.

From heartwarming endings to feeling like you just walked out of the Carnival Port-a-potty into another dimension - this collection will leave your mind spinning. The Fried Food stall, the Ferris Wheel, and even that carnival themed hotel in Vegas... all of it will never be the same for you after your visit to the Demonic Carnival.

Remember... First Ticket’s Free...

Dedication
T o the Authors within and their families. Without you and your patience, there would be no collection to share with the world. May the rest of 2019 and the years to follow be fruitful for you all and here’s to a wonderous journey.

Acknow ledgements
I want to say thank you to everyone who continues to cheer me on. No amount of words could express how much you have kept my morale and spirit high in the lowest moments. Many of you remind me often that I can be the “Busiest Author in All of Orlando” and it means the world to me that my chaos shines through.
A special thank you to those who help make this anthology come together including my partner in crime Kim Plasket and my amazing review duo Ryan O’Reilly and Karen Webster. Without them, the anthology wouldn’t get off the ground and they keep me moving forward, even if I’m the one holding things up!
Thank you to all the authors who submitted! This year I had to send quite a few rejections out and be picky. I hope you all have great success in the not-so-distan t future.
And of course, the readers who gave support for the first volume, Demonic Wildlife and those who’ve continued to follow the Demonic Anthologies as we continu e to grow.
Thank you to my husband, Justin, and the boys, Levi and Link, for being understanding and patient with Mommy’s hard work and devotion.
To my writing villages here in Orlando, Florida which include Writer’s Atelier and Racquel Henry, Anthony Awtrey & L.E. Perez with Orlando East Writers Group, and the misfit crew from Writers of Central Florida & The reabouts.

K im Plasket
A pproaching the small weather-beaten old ticket booth, you stop for a moment and look closely. The paint is garish and for some reason, it doesn’t quite seem to fit, something about it makes you stop and pause. The huge fence behind the booth gives you no clue as to what may lay behind it. You figure you will just walk on by when the small door opens and a ma n appears.
“Come a little closer. Do you want to hear about the carnival?” His eyes were hypnotic if you could get past his greasy hair and the odor surrounding him of beer and elephant dung. “I have tales to tell you of the carnival. Listen to the screams; are those from joy or terror? Is that excitement of fear that you hear? They are simply people such as you enjoying what we have to offer.”
You think to yourself he’s the same as all the other salesmen, but something in the screams from behind the fence make you wonder, is it pleasure or something darker, painful? Maybe this is something new, something you haven’t seen before? The last time you went to a carnival you were so young but remember the bright colors, flashing lights, and campy music that all failed to hide the truth only you could see.
The smiles on the carnies were fake; it was as if they were simply painted on. The men and women who manned the games and took care of the rides had eyes as black as night. You knew they were empty shells; they may not have been alive but still, they moved. You stand there for a moment thinking, well aware of his eyes watching as if he can hear your thoughts.
He stares at you waiting for you to decide before he continues his tale, his sale. As you stare at the fence you swear you can smell blood, but the faint hint of peanuts and sawdust drown it out. Your skin begins to crawl as your mind fills with images of clowns hiding every corner. Fire-eaters ready to inflame you as you step through the gate; they take no prisoners. The lion tamers releasing their lions to attack if you dare to take any longer to make up your fee ble mind.
You casually shake your head to dispel the images and his face falls as if you denied him a longed-for dream. Hurriedly, you tell him to please continue.
“My new friend, you will laugh with delight and scream with joy as our carnival works its magic into your very soul. I promise you, you may neve r leave.”
You feel drawn closer to him. It’s hard to believe you thought the odor emanating off of him was disgusting, wondering how you could’ve been so mistaken. He smells delightful, his eyes promising you joys beyond your im agination.
You find yourself asking him “How much for a ticket?”
His eyes begin to glow with fire as the gates behind him slowly open, Arms wide he declares:
“The first ticket ’s free.”

T he enemy’s trace was in the air. His thick and unmistakable scent of fear and anger penetrated Sammi’s pores and mingled with the excitement fro m a crowd.
She caught sight of him up ahead as he turned onto the cliffside road. He’s heading for the church carnival! She should have guessed this was where he woul d strike.
He was clever—she’d give him that. But Sammi had an edge over him that he never counted on. She’d used it before—and she’d use it again.
She scanned the church grounds. The fall carnival bustled with activity. To her right, food trucks and snack booths backed up to the road. Straight in front of her, traditional games were scattered among local artists, crafters, and vendors. The rides were further back, set against a crop of trees that marked the t own line.
Sammi lost the scent behind the hand-washing station. Where could
