Didn't love the other stories in the collection, but this one was good -- slightly creepy, but satisfying. ( ) First, I have to say I love the play on words with the title and Sweeney Todd. It sets the stage perfectly for this adventure of Atticus, Oberon and Granuaile at a carnival. There is something ominous about carnivals, and Hearne takes full advantage of that atmosphere to weave a story that takes place about mid-way through her training. Our trio gets lured into a “freak” tent that isn’t just ripping people off of their money, but of their lives. Atticus faces off against a Grim Reaper who is literally creating hell on Earth. The story is inessential to the series as a whole, but is highly enjoyable none-the-less. Sometimes, an exciting adventure without the high stakes faced in the novels is just what readers need between installments. Sold as an e-book, this was a short story that first appeared in the CarniePunk anthology. It happens during the time that Atticus is training Granuaile to be a druid, at a small traveling carnival in Kansas. There are demons, imps, ghouls, a long fight scene, and mental smart-aleck talk with the dog. Great fun. Not deathless literature. Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

When Granuaile falls under the barker's influence and enters the tent, Atticus isn't about to forget it and move on.
