Carnival of Fear

A Paranormal LitRPG Dungeon Core (Spirit Core, Book 3)

By: Jonathan Brooks

Narrated by: Sarah L. Colton

An unsuspecting carnival is about to get a dose of serial killer magic.

After two successful completed objectives, our not-so-friendly Spirit Core finds himself in an unexpected location. Instead of “haunting” a house and killing the residents inside using their own fear against them, the intangible entity ends up arriving at his new objective floating above a traveling carnival, of all places.

Now, the reincarnated soul of emotionless serial killer, Clive Logan, must successfully kill at least some of the carnival’s visitors - but how? Luckily, the Goddess of the Underworld has provided the Spirit Core with a variety of new mechanics suited to his new location; these mechanics will allow Clive to raise their FEAR Levels up to the point where they can be killed from fear alone. Coupled with his minions, Preston and Brittany Miller - who are due to arrive any day - it should be a simple enough execution of his objective.

Unfortunately, there are forces waging their efforts against him. Father Stryker is closing in on his location; if Clive makes a wrong move, he could end up being exorcized and destroyed, ending his reign of death before he could really get his momentum going. Added to that, the carnival’s employees have a secret that they are hiding, which could potentially bring more attention to his location than he’d prefer.

Will Clive be able to kill to his satisfaction, or will he be stopped before his objective is complete? Find out now in Carnival of Fear.

Warning: There are some very sensitive and disturbing criminal activities contained in this book, as well as it being the tale of a serial killer doing what serial killers do; so, if you are opposed to those sorts of things, turn back now....

Contains LitRPG/GameLit aspects such as statistics and leveling, as well as Dungeon Core elements.

Another Great Addition to the Series

Brooks outdid himself with this one. The carnage scaled wonderfully in this book. I can hardly wait for the next book.

Ghostly terror and stats at their best

1. I love horror 2. I love LITRPG 3. I love dungeon stories. So what does that mean? This hits all 3 of those categories!!! This is the 3rd book of four (so far). They are amazing. Jonathan Brooks is a master of dungeon core stories and In this series he has created a blend of the above categories in a way only he could. By making the spirit core of a killer into a
Dungeon core that grows in power as it terrifies people until it has the power to literally kill people from fear. This 3rd installment though takes his powers to a whole new level. This whole series cannot be recommended enough. I wish I could give it 6 or more stars. I have them in ebook as well and find them to be amongst my favorite stories for sure! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Must have!!

You must by this book! You must by this book! You must by this book! Awesome Amazing Astounding!

This was so much fun!

I really enjoyed the setup of these books not only do you have the reverse main character with Clive being the bad guy but it also leaves you wanting to know what's going to happen next how is he going to kill these people. This one was no exception this one had the added benefit of added mystery because things changed so radically and that ending was amazing I absolutely can't wait for the next book.

Litrpg Horror Dungeon Core

I am still suprised how well this series works with both elements of horror and Dungeon Core. I am very curious to see how the next book picks up from the end of this story.

you'll root for the bad guys

pros: great take on a dungeon core with no sympathy. the story moves along quick and has just the right amount of stats.
cons: now I want funnel cake

Creepy cool core

The premise of this entire series is very original. It is pretty creepy with some interesting characters. The narrator did a good job setting the tone for the book.
