the Dark Carnival - a Collection of Shorts

WARNING: The contents of most of the stories in this collection may involve violence and/or coarse language. Read ahead at your own risk.

Brief Synopsis: The Greatest Show Unearthed is in town.

A twisted game where the stakes are your lives and the rules mean the difference between life and death. Will you figure out your rules in time or will you suffer a painful, deserved death at the hands of the malevolent Ticket Taker?

For the time being, while I work on this story in its entirety anyways, I have decided to post any shorts I write for my screenplay/novel 'the Dark Carnival' here in this collection.
The stories here themselves will feature, for the most part, the two main characters the Ticket Taker and Laureth; chronicling Laureth's attempts to survive in the carnival with the occasional aid from Taker.

Some of these may or may not make it into the final draft of the full story but they will all be rough ideas of what I had in mind for the basic plot itself and will give people an idea of who the characters themselves are.

Another note. Most of these stories will incorporate the music written and performed by the band Creature Feature so sometimes this will look like a song fic.

Some of these may have been migrated over from my deviantART account:

but most of these stories will be new ones I wrote in college.
