#4 The Carnival of Shame

By Michael L Gatti

Midnight Parables: Carnival of Shame
What good is the world if you lose your soul?

When mysterious invitations appear offering free admission to a brand-new carnival on the edge of Cross Street, Ethan, Gabe, and Lily decide to check it out. The rides are dazzling, the lights hypnotic, and the prizes almost too good to be true.

But something is off.

Gabe wins a medal and quickly becomes obsessed with the carnival's twisted charm-while Ethan and Lily find themselves trapped in a nightmarish maze of shame, humiliation, and spiritual torment. The games are rigged, the laughter cruel, and the pain deeply personal.

As their faith is pushed to its limits, Ethan and Lily must rely on more than just courage to survive. They'll need wisdom, prayer, and the strength to face their own brokenness if they hope to escape. But even if they do... can they save their friend before the carnival claims his soul for good?

From the author of Vanity's Curse, The Whisper in the Window, and The Price of Gold comes a powerful new parable about temptation, humiliation, and the redemptive power of faith.
