Carnivora

Carnivora
by Chris B. Radebe
The carnival was supposed to be dead.
When five friends reunite to explore the ruins of Carnivora-a long-abandoned carnival on the edge of town-they expect nothing more than rusted rides, broken lights, and fading echoes of laughter. But Carnivora has been waiting.
Once a place of spectacle and joy, the carnival was built on blood. Generations ago, the townspeople struck a pact with a malevolent force, trading ritual sacrifice for prosperity. When the carnival finally collapsed under the weight of its sins, something darker lingered-hungry, patient, and cruel.
Emily, Matt, Sarah, Jake, and Rachel each carry their own secrets, their own scars. Inside Carnivora's twisted maze of funhouses and horrors, those private demons come alive, feeding the nightmare. At the heart of it all stands Mr. Blackwood, the carnival's sinister owner, promising them one final show they may never leave alive.
But Carnivora doesn't just want their bodies-it wants their souls.
Gruesome, unsettling, and relentless, Carnivora is a descent into psychological and supernatural terror, where trauma becomes spectacle and no one leaves unmarked.
Welcome to Carnivora.
The show has already begun.
