EXCERPT FROM 'CIRCUS OF HORRORS'
"The heat was
intense, no doubt about it. Things began catching fire; bits of wood and wallpaper
started burning and those scary popup things every funhouse has were all
beginning to burn, too.
“We’re
burning!” Fred hollered, but Joe only waved him off.
“You
only feel like you’re burning but you’re really not! Feel your skin.”
He
felt his and his father’s too, and Joe was right. Neither of them felt hot,
only warm—not even very warm.
“Amazing,

“That’s

looked up, still smiling. She was gorgeous. Fred studied her features and saw

She
kept touching herself, smoothing her hands down her narrow waist and hips. “If
this is Hell, Fred, I want more!” Her smile widened. “Ain’t I lovely?”

were the great folds of fat, the doughy, dimpled mounds of flesh that made up
the being known as Baby Alice. Joe hurried to her. “Let’s show him what she’s
got.”
