-Or, you can skip this part and bother reading the story, you know?-

How do you do, fellow reader?

I hereby present to you a literary experiment of mine that turned out rather successful:

Helter Skelter was inspired by the character presented in the Arctic Monkeys song Arabella, which then flourished within my creativity in exploring those who suffer from coulrophobia (fear of clowns). Although certain themes of
horror might be vivid, it is NOT a horror story. Think Tim Burton meets Voltaire. The world, or should I say fairground, of a circus has been one of the most colorful universes my imagination had made me write about; many interesting characters and opportunities to change this into a twisted tale.

This story, unlike my others, is less descriptive. I will not provide any information about the 'I' narrator, other than his name. I hope you enjoy this work as much as my tutor at Oxford has, and stay tuned for more updates on it.
