I enjoyed this short story by Joe Hill, author of NOS4A2, Horns and Twentieth Century Ghosts. It's a tale of a modern and slightly dysfunctional family who comes across a macabre circus while on a cross country vacation. The tale itself is a bit too brief, and I found the use of Twittering as a story telling device strange. I think I would have enjoyed the story more if it had been told in Hill's normal writing style. However, I thought the circus was a great horror creation, and Hill does a great job of describing its various acts, and the nastiness that ensues. Fun stuff for fans of old school horror stories.
