This was definitely one of those stories where I looked and could not look away, no matter how difficult it got. I love it, Sean.

Wow, this was wicked and it was also humane. You wrote a very nice little depiction of parts of humanity and combined it with wicked horror.

Also, the whole story and setting brought back memories of Ray Bradbury's "Something wicked this way comes". Wonderfully done.

Anything with a fairground is automatically creepy as hell! Loved this, well done.

A fabulous read. I’m a total sucker for a fairground style story. Loved it.

At the risk of using an expression my students so thoroughly overworked, OMG! There's so much depth here, so much hint of even more horror lurking just out of sight. The beast, after all, must have come from somewhere. There must be more of them...

Imagination and blood-chilling.
