COTTON CANDY CURSEBy Joss CaulderThe fair arrives overnight. No posters. No music. Just the smell of burnt sugar hanging in the air. Thirteen-year-old Leah is still grieving her mother when a travelling fair rolls into her coastal town. At first it feels harmless. Bright lights. Laughing children. A candy-floss stall that draws crowds like a spell. Then the nightmares start. Children who eat the candy wake screaming.
Hair in their mouths. Bones in their dreams. Some don't wake at all. As the fair tightens its grip on the town, Leah must decide how much of her own sorrow she's willing to sacrifice to stop him. Because some sweets don't just melt on your tongue. They remember you.
