   Summary

   When the Freak Circus of Horrors comes to town, Symon is elated. He loves horror - more than average, as the reams of kinky horror-erotica he's written can attest. So when a chance meeting with the silent (or not-so-silent) clown Pierrot winds up in an invitation, of course he's going to go. Because he wants inspiration for his newest project...

   ...and because he's worried about Pierrot, who he's becoming quickly convinced is in a cult or something. He can't remove his mask? He can't speak in public? This Jester guy seems to make all the important decisions for him? Symon came from a controlling family once, and the 'family' of the circus certainly seems... off. Since he's growing more and more attached to Pierrot - and curious about the mysterious Harlequin - how can he not investigate?
