About this ebook
Evil comes in frightening and familiar forms in this terrifying novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz.
Once there was a girl who ran away and joined a traveling carnival. She married a man she grew to hate—and gave birth to a child she could never love. A child so monstrous that she killed it with her own hands...
Twenty-five years later, Ellen Harper has a new life, a new husband, and two normal children—Joey loves monster movies and Amy is about to graduate from high school. But their mother drowns her secret guilt in alcohol and prayer. The time has come for Amy and Joey to pay for her sins, because the carnival is coming back to town...

I'm a massive fan of DK and have read most of his books and loved them all, but I didn't like this book whatsoever and found it too dark. The ending wasn't worth the perseverance of reading.

My mum got me to read this book when I was 16/17 & I absolutely loved it! I sat there for 17hrs straight until I had completed the book as I couldn't put it down. I am now nearly 24 & have read the book numerous times, amazing!
