Another amazing original. I really appreciate your ability to modernize weird horror without taking the weird out of it. It's not like when a film maker tries to adapt a Lovecraft story for "modern" audience, for example. I look forward to more of your work, Ian.

I spent over a decade working in a traveling carnival. The lion tamers are long gone. Their family members remain, however. A friend of mine is the grandson of the aerialist and lion tamer Sport Matthews. Sport kept King Tuffy, one of the largest cats ever trained.

Ive been listening to Ian Gorden for about 3 years now and out of all the stories written and told my favorites are the one of the imfamous P.I Peter Van Melsen. But one in particular has caught my interest as of late which is "Tentacles" Where a young man named Miles Gorden a P.I (like Van Melsen) went on investigation of a certain house from his past and ended up disappearing. For a long time now i've wondered what if Van Melsen was to look into his disappearance i mean he did find Murphy after all. I know its unlikely but would make for a rather interesting story
