"Hell is empty, and all the devils are here." - William Shakespere"Hell has three gates: lust, anger, and greed" - Bhagavad GitaBram Stoker Award nominee Billie Sue Mosiman gives us a perfect little story for Halloween. Carnival Freak is a twisted little short story about greed, anger, bitterness and envy. She places the story in a world not often seen these days, the world of the freak, the oddity - where bearded ladies and the Elephant Man mix and mingle with others whose only chance at acceptance are the stares of the unwashed masses.In this particular carnival sideshow, there is something even darker at hand. A darkness of truth, the truth no one wishes to know, or accept. Especially, those with the deepest, most evil secrets.Join the crowds and slip between the tent flaps. Enjoy the show. And if you are very, very brave, pay the admission and "see the secret freak, our Freak of Freaks, our ultimate show . . ." Are you brave enough to know the truth?
