The only really tricky part for me was the setting and how it was being described at times that really messed me up.

Aside from that, I really enjoyed the idea and premise. I had to keep in mind it is a short story and not a full novel so things are going to be left untouched and it does add to the mystery.

Circuses don't scare me so this didn't have much of a creepy factor for me, but I still enjoyed it.
