Words take flight

There was a time when the sound of an approaching carnival signaled a rare chance to see people and things only imagined of in dreams (or nightmares). Dr. Sarcophagus and his Carnival of Dark Desires harkens back to a less informed and jaded era when there was more unknown than known, and the strange and unexpected caused equal measures of fear, fascination and revulsion. The good doctor invites you to meet his very special "family" – all he asks for are an open mind and a few of your coins. And, of course, your willingness to explore your darkest desires.

Dr. Sarcophagus is pleased to introduce:

• Raggedy Dan, by Tori Fernandez – You don't want to find this "doll" in your bed.
• But Now I See, by Jeffrey Stundel – Taking things at face value can be deadly.
• The Raven Master, by Cindy Livingston – Keep not what does not belong to you.
• Barking Mad, by Jeffrey Stundel – Make certain of your words before you "speak".
• The Devil and Dr. Sarcophagus, by M.J. Hyman – New Jersey goes to Hell.
• Saving Grace, by P.J. Brown – Hearts can be worn on more than sleeves.
• Ends With "Y", by Michael Rennay – Some questions have no answers.

About Dr. Sarcophagus

Dr. Sarcophagus is the leader of – and father figure for – a group of "different" people who have found a home – and family – within the canvas tents.
