TWILIGHT EYES (expanded version)

The carnival is coming to town—and it's like nothing you've ever seen...

Though it boasts the usual thrill rides, freaks, girly shows and gaudy glamour, this is no ordinary carnival. Beyond the lights and the tinsel, there is eeriness, danger, and brooding mystery. Within the exotic realm of the dazzling midway, there moves a creature of which the carnies are unaware. Something dark. Something dangerous.

Slim MacKenzie sees what others cannot see. He possesses a strange, unwanted gift: the ability to look deep into the heart of darkness. And he has discovered something looking back at him. Seeking sanctuary in the summer of his seventeenth year, he seems to find safe harbor as a worker in the Sombra Brothers Carnival.

Soon, Slim discovers that his glittery sanctuary has become a somber stalking ground. The creature from which he is hiding has found him once more.

Slim and the carnies who befriend him will soon make a terrifying discovery: the earth is shared by something more deadly than humankind.

Lurking in the darkest shadows of an eerie, moonlit carnival. Feeding their twisted needs with human suffering. And plotting the downfall of the human race...

THEY'RE OUT THERE

You can't run. You can't hide. But you can die.
