In "Horror-Go-Round," a melancholy old man operates a twisted carousel where the rides are eerily familiar—each a grotesque likeness of someone long dead.

The story unfolds with quiet dread, as the truth behind the carousel’s horrors slowly reveals itself.

In 1600 Salem, vanity leads Peter Braack to a fateful bargain with a witch, trading his soul for eternal youth—only to be hanged for a crime he didn’t commit. Now cursed to wander as an immortal beggar, he seeks death as redemption, but only the witch can grant it.
