Clowning Around by Kris P. Kreme
Belinda, Brent, and Felicia find themselves at an all night carnival where sinister freakish characters around them present more of a threat than they ever imagined. Clowning Around never involved so much physical stimulation than the way their night at the carnival ends with a bang… or several.
Belinda will have her arrogance taken down a peg and Felicia will no longer have a mind for book learning, but Brent doesn’t really mind. His night turned out well.
Belinda and her college roommate Felicia are in her home town for the summer, looking for something fun to do. While ordinarily she wouldn’t care about his suggestions, Belinda takes her eighteen year old brother’s tip that they could hit the local carnival, a regular event in these parts, though one that isn’t for those who are frightened by the strange and unusual.
The carnival is not one of those places where families usually venture after dark, filled with the freakish and adult themed acts which leave it quite the underground reputation. Worse still, at least for Felicia, this carnival has clowns.
Felicia like many has always had a fear of clowns but as Belinda warns, she shouldn’t merely fear the clowns as pretty much all guys at this carnival are creepy in their own way. Brent tries to reassure while his sister simply dismisses him and takes on her own plan of dressing as revealing as possible and teasing the men at the carnival mercilessly.
The night goes fine for the girls, though Brent is left wanting nothing more than to leave thanks to his sister’s humiliation of him. When they finally decide to call it a night, that’s when the humiliation takes a turn and they bump into a large brutish clown with a far too grinning face.
Tipsy from the generously offered alcohol at the carnival, none of them see the real threat this clown possesses until it is too late. Unafraid of arrogant Belinda, the clown wins over Brent and offers him a trade like he’s never imagined. Give his sister to the clown and the clown will make sure Felicia is all his to enjoy.
Inebriated or not, Brent does what a guy pushed too far will do and soon it isn’t his drunken state causing hallucinations as the clown performs some very twisted tricks, using the girls and their nubile coed bodies as props in his act.
Readers Choice Month takes readers to the dark side of a carnival, where it’s all fun and games until someone loses their brain cells, where not only the balloons are getting blown, and where ultimately it’s all just a matter of Clowning Around.
