Today's published story introduces our readers to Rick Rickshaws. In our haunted park, Rick Rickshaws is definitely the most insidious location. If you're smart, you'll just stay away - and of course, our Angels aren't going to stay away.
But in truth, Rick Rickshaw's is a real place at Worlds of Fun, a perfectly innocent souvenir shop. Jake and I used to pass on the Haunt parade route, and we shared an in-joke about it, saying that it should be decorated up and touted as the park's "littlest haunted house." Then, when we began writing "Haunt," we naturally included it as part of the park's landscape. As is the case with many of the things we include, the fictional Rick Rickshaws began to take on quite a different personality, the location of a sinister ritual that turned the place into something even worse than cramped aisles and overpriced souvenirs.
