A novelization of the Hammer classic. The nightmare has begun.
Your children will die. Your community will die. To give me back my life.
The small rural community of Shettle has fallen into a decline. It is rife with crime and its inhabitants plagued by ill-fortune. When the Circus of Nights arrives the people are drawn to it like moths to a flame: it's as though they are bewitched. Only four men realize that there is something terribly wrong; and as the town is enclosed in a barrier of "sickness" through which no one can enter or leave, they must do their utmost to protect their loved ones, before it's too late.
