Ladies and gentleman, roll up, roll up as the curtain rises for the greatest show on Earth. The Silver Circus has just pulled up in London but the Ringmaster's troupe are not your only entertainment for this evening. A killer is on the loose and magic lurks unseen in the dark depths of the city. Someone has to live out your fairy tales but there can be no happily ever after in the real world.
If you think the circus should be a place of laughter, fun and games then you've stumbled into the wrong tale: 17 year old Elias Thorne, a circus performer with a secret, must turn detective as the bodies stack up. But with the characters of fables and none of the morals can good ever really triumph over the big bad wolf and the troll under the bridge?

THE KILLING JOKE
Beneath the Sawdust: A Circus of Secrets 🎪 The Roster of Ages isn't just a book-it's a ledger written in blood and bound in debt. For generations, the Thorne Circus has hidden a dark truth: its glamorous aerialists are murderous enforcers, and its clowns are trapped in a cycle of servitude. The Clowns and The Crown Meet Charlie Conklin, a clown who gave up the greasepaint to become the forgettable children's performer, Mr. Scribbles. His final, desperate act was running from the circus, but his greatest fear is for his daughter, Cally. She's reinvented herself as a "classy" college student, hidden in the suburbs, clutching the very ledger that could free them all-or sign their death warrant. The Baker and the Foundling Cally's only ally is Hilton Matthews, an anxious baker whose shed now holds the Roster, wrapped in plastic and buried in flour. When the scent of fresh-baked scones and the quiet predictability of suburban life meet the ruthless agenda of the circus, no one is safe. The Aerialists are closing in, seeking to destroy the evidence of their bloody origins. If the Roster is exposed, the circus falls. If it's found, everyone Cally loves will be eliminated. Dive into a world where every smile hides a threat and the high wire leads straight to the grave. Will the baker and the foundling survive the secrets of the big top?Complete
The Killer Clown Circus
The Killer Clown Circus is no ordinary carnival; it is a twisted nightmare masquerading as a place of wonder. The air smells faintly of burnt sugar and decay, and the colors of the striped tents seem unnaturally vibrant, almost pulsing as if alive. The attractions are eerie distortions of normal carnival rides, each seemingly designed to unnerve or endanger anyone foolish enough to try them. The performers are grotesque clowns with painted-on smiles that never fade, their eyes cold and calculating. Their movements are unsettlingly precise, their laughter hollow and mocking. Every corner of the circus feels imbued with malice, as if it's watching, waiting for its next victim. At the center stands the Big Top, the heart of the madness, ruled by the enigmatic and malevolent Ringmaster. His booming voice and theatrical gestures hide a mind bent on manipulation and chaos. The circus itself seems alive, its layout shifting to trap those who enter, with no clear exit in sight. For anyone who dares to enter, the Killer Clown Circus offers only one promise: you'll never leave the same-if you leave at all.Complete
