Acerca de esta escucha
Pearly's first trip to the circus with his dad and little sister was magical. He'd never had cotton candy, and he vowed not to eat his; he'd keep it forever. He felt a kinship with the clowns, and he almost understood the strange symbols on their costumes. He even dared a quick touch.
On the runway, Dad just couldn't manage to toss the ball and win a kitten for Lucy...until a clown pulled Pearly between the tents and offered to make it happen, for a price.
"Would you like to be a clown, Pearly?"
Then, everything went sideways.

Jacquie Red Feather is newly sober and trying to make it back to the family she left behind in shame. Dene Oxendene is pulling his life back together after his uncle's death and has come to work at the powwow to honor his uncle's memory. Opal Viola Victoria Bear Shield has come to watch her nephew Orvil, who has taught himself traditional Indian dance through YouTube videos and will perform in public for the very first time. There will be glorious communion and a spectacle of sacred tradition and pageantry. And there will be sacrifice, and heroism, and loss.

The first collection of stories Stephen King has published since Nightmares & Dreamscapes nine years ago, Everything's Eventual includes one O. Henry Prize winner, two other award winners, four stories published by The New Yorker, and "Riding the Bullet", King's original e-book, which attracted over half a million online readers and became the most famous short story of the decade. Intense, eerie, and instantly compelling, they announce the stunningly fertile imagination of perhaps the greatest storyteller of our time.

Suburbia. Shady, tree-lined streets; well-tended lawns; and cozy homes. A nice, quiet place to grow up. Unless you are teenage Meg or her crippled sister, Susan. On a dead-end street, in the dark, damp basement of the Chandler house, Meg and Susan are left captive to the savage whims and rages of a distant aunt who is rapidly descending into madness. It is a madness that infects all three of her sons and finally the entire neighborhood. Only one troubled boy stands hesitantly between Meg and Susan and their cruel, torturous deaths.

When we last saw Zippy, she was oblivious to the storm that was brewing in her home. Her mother, Delonda, had literally just gotten up off the couch and ridden her rickety bicycle down the road. Her dad was off somewhere, gambling or "working." And Zippy was lost in her own fabulous world of exploring the fringes of Moorland, Indiana.

A Deliciously Disturbingly Horror Story
A frightened child who has been traumatized, predatory clowns stalking him from the shadows...all written in a haunting prose that is rare among horror writers. What more could you possibly want? This is horror done right. You don't just read the story, you feel it, like the memory of a nightmare that refuses to dissipate in the light of day. The narrator, I would also like to note, does a great job casting the spell.
Highly recommend it.

D. Fox Never Disappoints
The story begins with a simple trip to the circus.
Or was it?
Sarah Colton’s narration perfectly complements Dona Fox's skillful weaving of the tapestry of this tale. You won't find gratuitous blood or gore here. What you will find is a story replete with meticulous descriptions that fashion the scenic backdrops as well as the visages and personalities of each of her characters. You do not even need to use your imagination…she provides everything that you need to visualize the unfolding story. But I must caution you …do not get too comfortable. You will think that you know where the story is going, but then the plot takes an unexpected turn.
Arriving at this new juncture, you quickly recover and again you believe you can foresee the ending, but I can assure you that you will again be wrong. And again.
The final passages cascade into a horrific climax that literally made my heart plummet.
As my pulse returned to normal, I smiled.
I never really liked cotton candy anyway.

Cotton Candy and Clowns
Dona Fox continues to be one of my go-to authors when I want a quick fix of horror. This story does not disappoint in that area. Pearly and his sister, Lucy, go with their father to the Circus. After his first taste of cotton candy, Pearly decides to keep his forever. While there, he meets a clown who promises to help his father win a kitten. But, at what price?
Clowns are always a little creepy IMHO, and this story does not change my mind about that. Ms. Fox has written a creepy, yet tragic, tale that will haunt me for a long, long time.
The narrator, Sarah Colton, was perfect and her performance added a lot to this story. I don't think I will be grabbing any cotton candy anytime soon! I was given the chance to listen to this book by the author/narrator/publisher and chose to review it.
