About Carnival Kills: a Novel

"Perfect for fans of Texas Chainsaw, Clown in a Cornfield, and Saw, this retro slasher thriller delivers nonstop suspense, gruesome kills, and '80s horror nostalgia." In 1965, the infamous Red Hook Jack turned a small-town carnival into a blood-soaked nightmare, leaving behind a legacy of terror. His name became legend in Hollow Creek. Now, nearly twenty years later-Spring Break, 1986-Maddie and her friends set out for a lakeside getaway, for a weekend of fun. However, on the last night of the trip, their dream vacation is turned into a waking nightmare when they visit the local run-down park, Hollow Creek's Carnival. A copycat killer has emerged, reviving Red Hook Jack's reign of terror. Trapped in a twisted carnival of death, Maddie and her friends find themselves unwilling players in a sinister game-one where every attraction hides a gruesome fate, and every game comes with deadly stakes. As the body count rises and the carnival transforms into a slaughterhouse, Maddie must confront a horrifying truth: this isn't just random massacre. The motive? Revenge. And she's stuck at the heart of it. Welcome to Hollow Creek's Carnival-if the rides don't kill you, the killers will.
