'The Dark Carnival' is a collection of 41 short horror stories with a creepy carnival setting. If you are into dark horror stories featuring carnivals I'm sure you'll like at least some of this collection. Overall though not a bad horror collection and I don't regret reading it. As it is, there's so much material the reader becomes a little numb about halfway through and many of the stories start to seem the same. If this had been split into two volumes I think the stories would have had more room to "breath" and each one could have been appreciated a little more.
I think this collection was too long and tried to fit too many stories into one collection.
My biggest problem with the collection was the length. There were plenty of dark horror tales, some really dark but others not as much. None really struck me as a great, but none were really bad either.
This collection was like most in that I enjoyed some stories more than others. But the thought of them after dark, with no one else around.that's a different story. There's something a little spooky about carnivals, even though they are usually lots of fun. I've always loved stories and movies about haunted carnivals.
