"Come. Take a walk through my dollhouse, where your screams will blend and your cute little pleas will go unanswered."

Satan's Affair by H.D. Carlton
(Softback — C&M Universe, recommended starting point)

The dark chilling romance set inside a travelling carnival of horrors — where the most dangerous thing isn't the haunted house, but the man who runs it.

Every Halloween, Satan's Affair travels the country — offering terrifying haunted houses, thrilling rides, and the tastiest food. But hidden within the walls, a shadow watches. Judges. Executes. He hides within the walls, casting his judgement on those that reek of evil, singing lullabies to their rotting souls. Once you've been chosen, there's no escaping his henchmen — they cater to his every desire.

You can run. You can hide. But it only excites him. Step inside the dollhouse. Your screams won't save you here. And he can't promise it'll be over quickly.

Why readers can't put this down:

• 🎪 Haunted carnival setting — atmospheric, sinister, and utterly immersive
• 🖤 Vigilante villain MMC — dark, calculating, and impossible to look away from
• 🕷️ H.D. Carlton's signature darkness — the author of Haunting Adeline at her most chilling
• 📖 Short & consuming — 176 pages of pure, unapologetic dark romance
• 🔗 Part of the C&M Universe — connects to Haunting Adeline, Hunting Adeline & Where's Molly

Perfect for readers who love:

But what stood out wasn't the horror.

It was the themes underneath.

🖤 Justice Delivered by Someone Who Has No Right to Give It
🖤 The Monster Who Decides Who Deserves to Be Afraid
🖤 Evil Hidden Behind Spectacle and Celebration
🖤 What Happens When the Hunter Becomes Fascinated
🖤 The Thrill of Being Chosen — Even When You Should Run

At Dark Rose, we believe stories are often about far more than their plot.

You may never find yourself inside a travelling carnival where the man behind the curtain is something far darker than a showman.

But you may know what it feels like to sense something wrong beneath something beautiful, to be watched by someone who has already decided your fate, or to be drawn to a darkness you know you should flee.
