The Vanishing Barker: A Horror Novella

By: Judith Sonnet

Narrated by: Danielle Muething

"Come one . . . come all . . ."
There's something wrong with the carnival barker. Something creepy. And yet, his words pull young Terrence toward the funhouse. Toward the open door. Toward the dark . . .
"Come one . . . come all . . ."
After the boy, the barker, and the funhouse disappear, Terrence's brother and sister call their grandfather, a tough-as-nails ex-baseball player. They decide to investigate the carnival themselves that same night, well aware that the police won't believe their fantastic story!
"Come one . . . come all . . ."
Inside the funhouse, an ancient evil awakens in its coffin. Thirsty for blood, the barker's sinister master has a dark plan for Terrence and his family!
"Come one . . . come all . . . and be devoured!"

Written by Judith Sonnet (the disturbed mind behind Summer Never Ends, The Home, and Terror! Horror! Agony!), THE VANISHING BARKER is a chilling and old-fashioned horror novella . . . and it comes with three bonus short stories, two of which have never been published in print before!

Critic reviews

“There are writers, but even rarer, there are storytellers. Judith Sonnet is a storyteller and of the very best kind: follow her down the path, unlatch the gate, and disappear inside the dark world she’s cultivated. Once she takes you by the hand, you’ll never look back.” Rebecca Rowland, author of White Trash and Recycled Nightmares
