Freakshow — J. Kent Holloway

NOTE: This is an ENIGMA Directive short story originally appearing in THE GAME anthology from Seven Realms Publishing. It is a SHORT story, not a full length novel.

Three years before the events of Primal Thirst, wisecracking cryptozoologist Dr. Obadiah "Jack" Jackson awakens in the middle of an abandoned carnival on a desert island, completely unaware of how he arrived there. As he begins to investigate his strange surroundings, he is contacted by a man calling himself Freakshow, who explains that Jack must survive the night in the jungle where a pack of vicious cryptids lurk.

To add to the ordeal, Freakshow has abducted an innocent mother of three and has hidden her somewhere on island. With only a handful of tools at his disposal, Jack must locate the kidnapped woman and find a way for both of them to survive being hunted through the night.

FREAKSHOW is a short story introducing the sensational new villain of the upcoming ENIGMA Directive novel DEVIL'S CHILD (coming this Fall from Seven Realms Publishing).
