  Decadence and murder found on the dark side of the big city pales in comparison to the freak show found by undercover US narcotics agent Bob Clark in The Carnival of Death. Clark's investigation begins with cocaine and leads to cold-blooded murder — the discovery of one, and then another, headless corpse. Who is behind the slaughter? There are plenty of distractions — bright lights and beautiful girls — but Clark better find the murderers fast. Because the next head that rolls could be his own.

  Art. The greatest standard bearer of what the human condition really is?  Or Emperor’s Clothes, cheap gimmicks displayed as all-knowing? 
  When it comes to writing we have our favourite authors.  But what of the authors themselves. What are they keen to write of? 
  For our classic authors; from Poe to Lovecraft, from Woolf to Fitzgerald art in their words, is something to be admired.  From many angles, many views, their stories, their characters interact with art and the consequences fall as they may.
