Summary

Once there was a girl who ran away and joined a traveling carnival. She married a man she grew to hate - and gave birth to a child she could never love. A child so monstrous that she killed it with her own hands.… Twenty-five years later, Ellen Harper has a new life, a new husband, and two normal children - Joey loves monster movies, and Amy is about to graduate from high school. But their mother drowns her secret guilt in alcohol and prayer. The time has come for Amy and Joey to pay for her sins.…

Because Amy is pregnant.

And the carnival is coming back to town.

outstanding performance

Absolutely loved listening to this, which is mostly due to the narrator who really brings the characters to life with her performance. It's a pretty decent story, though the style of writing seems different from other Dean Koontz novels I've read or listened to and actually reminds me of Richard Laymon. My only complaint is that it seemed to wrap up rather quickly and left me wanting to know what happened in the aftermath so am epilogue would have been a nice touch.
