Billy wasn't running away to join a circus, Billy was running from bullies and an abusive father. He just ended up in the last resting place of the Circus Macabre.

Heironymous Malahyde is the circus's caretaker, a former dwarf clown and the chronicler of the dark history of the Circus Macabre.

And then Billy makes a wish...a deal with a heavy price...

Circus Macabre is the outstanding debut from Stuart Burchell...and the first of a number of new works.

FEAR LIATH MOR

by William Meikle

For centuries men have told tales of the Big Gray Man on Beinn Mac Duibh. In the sixteenth century, the tales are a grim reality for the people of Glenmore Castle.

After a particularly hard winter the terror rises to a crescendo. First cattle, then men are taken in the night by a howling monster.

Augustus Seton is called to rid the area of the beast. But the tops of the Beinn are a perilous place, and even Seton can feel fear when the terrible Fear Liath Mor wails in the mist.

An executioner in a land ruled by a king who loathes and fears the use of magicks both real and imagined, he becomes caught up in a battle larger than himself.
