Raymond — Nancy A. Collins

Raymond Fleuris is the most unpopular kid in Choctaw County Junior High. His parents send him to school in the same clothes, day after day, and make him wear canvas gloves on his hands, which he's forbidden to remove. He also wears a turban made of bandages to hide the scar on his head from recent brain surgery. Raymond is the butt of everyone's jokes, and is constantly being bullied by kids like Chucky Donothan.Then one day the carnival comes to town, and everything changes...
Award-winning author, Nancy A. Collins, author of Sunglasses After Dark, presents yet another tale of the macabre in the tradition of such masters of the fantastic as Robert Bloch,Richard Matheson and Ray Bradbury.
