A Midsummer Night's Scream

Bard's Blood #2

Think you know Shakespeare? Think again. Will's immortal tales often have a higher body count than a teenage slasher flick - and just as many freakish creatures, and author David Bergantino's retrofitting has turned Shakespeare's centuries-old classics into modern-day fright fests!

At Globe University, romance is...complicated. Lenore likes Dimitri who likes Mia who likes Xander who, OK, likes Mia, too. When these mismatched couples are paired off for a summer school "parenting" assignment, trouble is clearly on the horizon - even before a spooky, old-fashioned carnival rolls into town The mysterious carnival - boasting side show freaks like the Wolf Boy, the Human Torso, and the seductive Lizard Woman - attracts the bored and unhappy college kids like the lurid purple glow of fresh cotton candy. But more than harmless thrills and chills are in store for the gang as dark occult forces turn their lives upside down, and their true love into murderous hate!

As the students face terror in the warm summer night, who will survive 'til the cold the morning light?
