Funded by Sam's Dot Publishing, and sold through iUniverse, Side Show, Tales of the Big Top and the Bizarre, is a 188-page collection of stories and poems designed to awaken the thrills, chills, spills, and memories of time spent on the midway and beyond. Be warned that this is not a medley of happy clowns, rainbow coloured carousels, and cotton candy, but rather an assortment of highly unusual characters and oddities, a sinister smorgasbord of eerie delights intended for those who love the dark and all that dwells there.

Featuring cover art by American artist Chad Savage, the collection includes the work of many writers from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Spain, Switzerland, Japan and Brazil...their brand of fiction is as diverse as their personalities and lifestyles. Titles include "Three Chickens" by Barry Hollander, "Snake Ladies, Fire-Eaters and Sideshow Mummies" by Tim Curran, "SuiSide Show" by Michael A. Arnzen, "Anything" by J. E. Deegan, "Sawdust" by Tyree Campbell, "Mesh of Veins" by Brendan Connell, and so much more.

Tyree Campbell, head of Sam's Dot Publishing,  has announced that all contributors should have their copies by Valentine's Day 2003 (or sooner).  Special thanks to all the mega-talented writers who participated.  Side Show ROCKS!
