My friends over at Pen & Muse have edited a fantastic new horror anthology. I’ll be previewing an excerpt on Friday, but check out the cover and artwork below.

In this anthology, several authors and illustrators explore the dark and hidden dangers that lie within a carnival that has come to town. But it is no ordinary carnival. It’s The Dark Carnival.

And when The Dark Carnival comes to town, there’s no promise that anyone can leave…alive.

Edited by: Jolene Haley, Kristen Jett, and Jessi Shakarian
