Twitch by Thomas Scopel is a creepy and suspenseful story that takes you backstage at a carnival where a new attraction is wreaking havoc.McB is a carnival owner but he may not be typical. He's kind and compassionate and loves all of his crew, including the ones that some might label as "freaks". He sees the human being inside and longs to give them a nice life. It's this compassion that leads him to acquire his latest carnival attraction named Twitch. Twitch is a highly unusual creature that stirred his heart when he saw him at another carnival being kept in less than desirable conditions. So, he purchased him so he could take care of him properly. Before he took him, the former owner warned him that Twitch isn't what he seems, but McB didn't believe him then.I very highly recommend this book. It is well written and the story is suspenseful and keeps you hooked. There is just something creepy about carnivals and this author really plays on that well. There is some gore but it's not all gore. There is a great, suspenseful story line that keeps you hooked to the very end. I will definitely be watching for more from this author in the future!A complimentary copy was provided for an honest review.
