The Circus Is Back
by M.D. LaBelle
The night before Halloween, a mysterious yet strange circus arrives in the small community of Coupeville. Worn paper flyers begin to appear around town advertising the Rondell Family Circus. As darkness falls, the eerie music begins. The Circus Is Back, and so is The Ringmaster and his group of misfit clowns. Town folk, take heed, lock up your little boys and girls so they don’t become the next victims of this carnival of carnage.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, gather around and witness the crunching of bone and the tearing of ligaments that author M.D. LaBelle has to offer! Yes, the circus is back in town and the disappearances and lifeless bodies begin to stack up at an alarming rate. Underneath the LaBelle blood-soaked big top, there’s many morbid wrong doings and murderous intentions under way. This freak show of killers has existed for hundreds of years and thousands of victims.
Reading M.D. LaBelle’s books are like Lay’s potato chips, “you can’t read just one.” After delving into the first book in the series, The Circus, I acquired a taste for cotton candy carnage. Now, a second encounter with the Rondell Family Circus is available! LaBelle does not skimp on grizzly details and freakishly strange happenings. Not kidding, these pages ooze spit-roasted baby back ribs and toddler tartare with a special seasoning of fear and blood.
So, if you are easily offended, warning: this book contains some of the most horrendous displays of cannibalism imaginable. Scary white face paint and screaming crowds, if you like Art the Clown you’re gonna love the Rondell clan. Step right up and purchase your one-way ticket to LaBelle’s creepy circus, you won’t regret it!

Christmas Eve Carnage II: Sprinkles Lives
by John Lynch
A family has been brutally murdered within their own home and the only survivor is a minor child, this is the tragic breaking story of Dale Avenue. Rushed to the hospital, Cindy begins her recovery from the horrendous multi-killings that is now known as the Christmas Eve Massacre. Enter Sprinkles, a Christmas elf dressed in a green tunic and hat, whose mission is to finish what he started. Sprinkles Lives!
Sprinkles, the homicidal doll, Decks the Halls with crime-scene tape and deadly candy canes. He’s loaded with enough mocking quips and catch-phrases to give both Freddy and Chucky a run for their money. This child’s toy that comes to life is not only a scene stealer, but he takes the whole book in his own extreme fashion. From killer snowblowers to phallic peppermint peckers, this creepy interpretation of Christmas leaves a trail of fresh blood in gruesome snow.
Christmas Eve Carnage II: Sprinkles Lives is the brainchild of author John Lynch. Spreading his horrific holiday cheer, Lynch has obviously been a naughty, naughty boy. With jingling bells of bowel removal and seasonal severed heads, all the trigger warning trimmings are loaded with enough primal brutality for the whole family to enjoy.
Disturbing, unusual and pure evil, Christmas Eve Carnage II creates a jarring contrast between the typically cheerful holiday imagery and the unsettling elements of grisly fear. Whether poking, prodding, slicing or dicing, some of the most creative kills this side of Killer Klowns exist within these picturesque pages. Lynch crosses the holiday threshold with a velvet bag of gory goodies.
My favorite quote comes from Sprinkles himself, “Ho, ho, ho, you naughty bitch!” With a snap of the fingers and a joyful tee-hee-hee, this book is based on the intensity of the scream.
