Once the Flaherty Brothers Traveling Carnivale and Freakshow rolls into Pleasant Hills, Tennessee, the quiet little town will never be the same.

In fact, much of the town won’t survive.

At first glance the freakshow looks like so many others — lurid, run-down, decrepit. But this freakshow is definitely one of a kind . . .

The townspeople can’t resist the lure of the tawdry spectacle. The main attractions are living nightmares, the acts center on torture and slaughter — and the stars of the show are the unsuspecting customers themselves.

An impromptu detour in the mountain country of east Tennessee leads a group of returning vacationers to a darkly enchanted realm that is both of our world and beyond it. An isolated house high in the mountains offers a false glimmer of hope for some of the wayward travelers.

What awaits them here instead is a nightmare descent into torture, depravity, and death — and, for one young woman, a temptation to decadence perhaps too strong to resist.

Beneath the house is a cavernous realm populated by slaves, overlords, and strange beasts. This is the place called Below, where the Master of the dark mountain domain banishes many of those who arrive at his doors. Those who aren’t killed outright or drafted into the ranks of his sadistic Apprentices.

The slaves of Below toil in squalor as part of the Master’s work to serve and honor the death gods, the ancient entities that fuel his power. But in Below a revolution has been brewing. Aided by a rogue Apprentice, a mysterious figure known as Lazarus promises to lead the people of Below back to the surface.

And as the latest arrivals at the House of Blood struggle to survive through the longest night of their lives, the moment the revolutionaries have waited for so long is almost at hand. And soon this remote backwoods realm will explode in a nightmarish bloodbath of violence and death.
