Blood Inside the Mascot Head
A Slasher Novel

About this book:

**The heat isn't the only thing that'll kill you at Happy Kingdom.**

Leo Vance took the summer job for the eleven-fifty an hour and the tuition money. He didn't sign up for the service tunnels that breathe cold air up from something rotting beneath the midway. He didn't sign up for the rule about never, ever wandering past Sector Four—or the performers who wear their mascot heads into the breakroom and never, ever take them off. And he definitely didn't sign up for the sound of heavy rubber boots dragging through the dark, or the wet, wheezing gasp of something suffocating inside a fiberglass smile.

By the time the park gates open, the Great Monarch coaster is shaking dust from the tunnel ceilings and the yellowjackets are swarming the spilled ice cream. But the real danger isn't the heat stroke or the rusted rides. It's the thirty-acre labyrinth underneath the fairy tale, where the costumes don't just hide faces—they hide hunters. And Barnaby Bear has been waiting a very long time for the new hire to clock in.

Some summer jobs take your soul. This one wants your blood.
