Publisher's Summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of Hounded comes an Iron Druid Chronicles short story in the captivating Carniepunk anthology.

The ancient Druid Atticus O’Sullivan gets more than greasy corn dogs and flat soda when he visits a carnival in Kansas to which his apprentice, Granuaile, drags him. He runs across a barker with a strange power over the crowd: attractive women leave their men and disappear into an unmarked tent, never to be seen again, and the men wander away, forgetting that they ever had girlfriends or wives. When Granuaile falls under the barker’s influence and enters the tent, Atticus isn’t about to forget it and move on. He and his Irish wolfhound, Oberon, pursue her and discover the horrifying secret to the carnival’s success.

Disappointed

I've quickly become a fan of Kevin Hearne's "Iron Druid Chronicles" which had been made even more enjoyable with Luke Daniels' narration. Luke Daniels has an extensive range of voices that captures every character spot on. Sorry to say Kirby Heyborne just didn't cut it. I was so disappointed with this story, I was glad it was just an hour long. Why would any change such a great partnership. I'd suggest they get Luke Daniels to re-record it.

it's just not the same without our series reader. I mean Oberon sounds like a completely different person and it totally took me out of the story
