Printing Details

First edition. Paperback. 17.5 × 10.5cm, 351pp.

In the tiny Catskills town of Deacons Kill, the blizzard strikes without warning. The people of Deacons Kill have seen terrible storms before, and they settle down uneasily to wait it out. But this one is different. As the drifts creep higher, a train appears out of the storm, arriving on rusty abandoned tracks—an antique circus train bringing clowns... and shadows... and death. The train belongs to Stanton Stokely’s Stupendous Circus, a troupe that met a grisly end in the town many years prior. They have returned to seek retribution.

Condition

A good reading copy of a classic horror. The covers have some fairly light edgewear, and the pages have age-related toning but it remains in good readable condition.
