Jason reached behind him, and brought forth a can of lager. The pop-crack-hiss of the tab was sharp in the night; already a fifth of the candles were gone, and the darkness notably closer in. He took a long sip. "I needn't tell you that not everything in a sideshow is real. You...

Latoya found another black candle. She held it up, and then took something from her pocket. It was a small curl of bronze, tapering to a point. Thicker than a pig's tail, but not too dissimilar. "Myra MacGregor's daughter Lyra gave this to me," she said. "She was born with this...

"I know a story about a curse," Asenath said, as she found a candle. There were visibly fewer of them now, and they were more spread out. "It was set after the Civil War, before Dagon's Hollow was a town, just a collection of farms. Former slaves and their families came north to...

Miu found the furthest candle, and brought it back. She carried with her a thin grey stick. "When the first settlers came, they brought with them a Chinese plum tree, all the way from Japan. In a strange and often hostile world, it was a symbol of hope and endurance, a piece of...

Chapter 94

Asenath picked up one of the few remaining candles. Her white dress reflected the light a little, as she held it close to her stomach. It made her lower face seem to glow, but her eyes looked like glimmers in the darkness. "Desire can make monsters of us all. Let me tell you abo...

"Our game nears its end," Miu said, as she picked up her final candle. "But legends live on. For my final tale, I wish to revisit the oldest horror in this cemetery, one that still remains. So let me tell you about > THE RETURN OF THE SLIT-MOUTHED WOMAN It was a moonless night,...

Anya drew forth the book again. The one bound in human skin. The one with a nipple jutting forth from its cover. "If this is going to be my last story of the night," she said. "Then I would like to read you something. It's an old, old story, translated from language to language....
