The Carnival of Glass Moons

By Sky Rivers

One way in. Two ways out.
When a late-shift stock clerk named Icarus follows a single text-together?-to an abandoned amusement park, he steps into a place where time is legal tender and memory is the house cut. The Carnival of Glass Moons hums with crooked waltzes and polite rules: keep moving, do not explain. Tickets are minted from minutes you won't get back. Interest accrues in dread. And the ma tre d' of this mercy-Mr. Marrow, one warm eye and one pale-never raises his voice.

Icarus and Seren move ride to ride through a gauntlet of tender horrors: a carousel that promises one more round of what you almost saved, a House of Masks that insists on the face you perform, a maze that binds you with the explanations you can't stop giving, a lake of glass moons where the past floats close enough to step on. Each attraction offers relief with a catch; each choice asks what love is for-fixing, or staying.

At the Grandstand, two doors wait: HOME, which returns you to a life without souvenirs, and ROUND, which offers forever another try. In prose bright and knife-true, The Carnival of Glass Moons is a haunting, hopeful novel about panic and devotion, the appetite of almost, and the ordinary heroism of choosing to live-without the loop, and with the people who can't.
