When the ride ends, the terror begins...


The nightmares and visions are getting worse for crime writer Jack Rainne. He can't shake the childhood memory of a haunting carousel ride in a desolate Missouri cornfield. The psych ward docs convinced him long ago the frightening images were all in his head. Twenty-five years later, he's not so sure. He spots the carousel and its grizzled operator a thousand miles away from the Missouri cornfield, captured in a photo taken the night a young family vanishes from a local carnival.


The problem? Jack is in the photo, too.


Did I mention dead people? Jack sees them. And the murders he pens in his novels resemble several unsolved killings in the area. His wife, Sam, begs him to get help-right before she vanishes. With a trail of evidence pointing his way, Jack is forced to go on the run. His only hope for answers is a return to the Missouri cornfield where it all began. There, he uncovers a shocking truth-and a long-forgotten promise he's condemned to fulfill.


Industry Reviews

"Stephen Paul Sayers excels at putting the devil in the details, and The Carousel Man will captivate readers of horror and supernatural thrillers until the very last page."- Jeremy Bates, USA Today best-selling author of Suicide Forest and The Sleep Experiment


"As is his style, Stephen Paul Sayers is as unforgiving to his readers as he is his protagonists. He rips us from the safety of the edge of our seats, then tosses us into the nightmare alongside the demonized souls he creates. I was equal parts anxious to find out what would happen, but afraid to at the same time. The Carousel Man is vintage Sayers, and that dear readers, is a good thing. Highly recommended!"-Tim McWhorter, author of Bone White and Let There Be Dark


"The concept of the down-and-out writer isn't new, but Sayers puts his own, original spin on it in The Carousel Man. With surprising twists and turns I never expected, I found this to be a great read in the vein of Stephen King."-Donna Marie West, author of The Mud Man and Next in Line
