The year is 1993, and the Crowford Carnival is about to begin. As the seaside town prepares for its biggest celebration of the year, the annual funfair rolls in – a riot of lights, laughter, and rides that promise to chase the gloom away. But this year, something darker has arrived along with the bright lights. Andy Lannigan has returned, just like he does every year. Part of the travelling fair, Andy always looks forward to seeing Paula – the girl he hopes to build a future with. But this time, everything has changed. Paula is dead, her body discovered months earlier on a desolate stretch of beach. Her killer was never found. Her story never given an ending. Now, Andy wants answers. Teaming up with Paula's old friends, he begins to dig into the mystery. But something sinister is already watching, waiting for the carnival to begin – and preparing to kill again. Can Andy find the truth before more blood is spilled beneath the glittering lights? The Terror of Crowford Carnival is the fifteenth standalone tale in the Ghosts of Crowford series – a haunting blend of small-town secrets, lingering spirits, and one young man's fight to expose a killer hiding in plain sight.
