The Midway: Ten Past Midnight

The Midway was supposed to be closed for the night.Then, ten minutes past midnight, a stranger walked through the front gate and called Amos Boudreau by a name he hadn't heard in a very long time.By morning, one carnival worker is dead, something ancient is stalking the grounds, and the people who call the Midway home are discovering that their quiet old boss has been keeping secrets of his own.The thing hunting them is known as the Carrion Prince. It doesn't simply feed on blood or death. It feeds on the moment people decide there is no tomorrow worth fighting for.Unfortunately for it, carnies are stubborn bastards.As old sins surface and buried truths come loose, Amos must protect a collection of drifters, performers, mechanics, cheats, and outcasts who somehow became his family-while confronting pieces of his own past he worked very hard to forget.The Midway: Ten Past Midnight is the first standalone story in The Midway series: a dark American carnival world of Southern Gothic horror, supernatural mystery, gallows humor, second chances, and people who are a little broken but refuse to stay down.Every town has a story.The Midway carries them away.
