Ladies and gentlemen, griffins and gnolls... the carnival is OPEN!

Max Plank is a down-on-his-luck handyman with no job, no prospects, and no plan. But when he discovers a million dollars hidden beneath his bathtub, he does what anyone would do: he buys a haunted, defunct amusement park.

Now the reluctant ringleader of the Carnival of the Sun, Max finds himself swept into a world of monstrous politics. With the help of several unlikely allies, he sets out to rebuild the carnival, bridge the widening gap between humans and monsters, and maybe even find a little joy along the way.

Perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes, Tress of the Emerald Sea, and Spirited Away, The Midnight Carnival is a cozy fantasy full of spooky fun, heartfelt friendship, and just enough danger to make you hug the blanket tighter on a cold night.
