Dr. Vincent Carlson is a country doctor who lives on his farm in a remote area of Wisconsin. He has a very beautiful daughter named Leanne. As the story opens, there is a thunderstorm and it is nearing midnight, the time Leanne said she would be back from seeing a show performed by a traveling circus called the "Haunchyville Carnival". Now all those deep-rooted fears we have of the freaks that used to be the attraction at a circus in days when there was no television the author of this amazing short story uses to his advantage. He really knows how to scare his readers. I loved the imagery "Vincent could only see the corn in the burst of a lightning flash". Any horror fiction junkie should check this out!
