It began with a centuries-old curse, writ in blood. It gave way to the hellish fury of the pack. Now, as night descends on Serenity Falls, the fun really begins...

A widow is tortured to death—by the husband she killed. A collection of curious dolls has been discovered with a terrifying secret carved in each. And then, with a whistle that screams like Hell, the circus arrives in town to raise a ruckus.

But the Carnival of the Fantastic is raising more than that. It’s raising the dead. No one can save Serenity Falls now—except the stranger known as the Hunter. Only he can protect the innocent from the damned. Because only he can tell them apart.
