To the spoiled rich kids on spring break the rented beach house seemed like the perfect setting for partying, drinking and general fooling around. The neighbors wouldn’t be able to hear their music.

But the unhinged killers about to crash the party think the house is perfect too — the neighbors won’t be able to hear the screams. And there will be much more blood flowing than booze.

One by one as the night of terror wears on, the college friends will learn the gruesome results of meeting a very different kind of people . . . The Killing Kind

Bonus Horror Short Story:

As a special bonus short story for the Dorchester/Leisure Books website, Bryan smith “…wrote a new 2,000 word short story in which surviving characters from The Freakshow run into characters from my new novel, The Killing Kind.” This horror short story is titled Killers on the Road. Needless to say it contains spoilers for Freakshow — which you’ll want to read before this.

The Freakshow

Pub. Date: February 27, 2007
Publisher: Leisure Books

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.
