Carnival of Souls

Carnival of Souls is an original novel based on the U.S. television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

A Traveling Carnival arrives in Sunnydale. It seems the carnival might be another victim of Sunnydale's weirdness. No body seems to be able to remember it arriviing despite the many old-style wagons, the numerous performers, and horse-drawn carts. The creepy calliope music seems almost to beckon out to people. Also nobody who goes into Hall of Mirrors comes out exactly the same as they were to start with. Inspired by a pair of once-homely twins now parading around the school like divas, the Scoobs decide to investigate the Carnival. Its soon clear that entering comes at a cost above the price of admission. Willow becomes consumed by envy, Cordelia gets greedy, and Xander finds himself overtaken with gluttony. Angel is revealing a dangerous new persona, whilst anger rises in Rupert Giles. More serious still, Buffy's pride starts to threaten those she cares about.
