Synopsis:
Once there was a girl who ran away and joined a traveling carnival.
She married a man she hated and begat a child she could never love.
Now Ellen has a new life, a new husband and two normal children.
Memory is drowned in alcohol and prayers--neither of which will save
her kids when the carnival comes back to town. A premiere release by
the bestselling author of Dragon Tears.

comes along."

PROLOGUE.
ELLEN STRAKER SAT at the small kitchen table in the Airstream travel
trailer, listening to the night wind, trying not to hear the strange
scratching that came from the baby's bassinet.
Tall oaks, maples, and birches swayed in the dark grove where the
trailer was parked. Leaves rustled like the starched, black skirts of
witches. The wind swept down from the cloud-plated Pennsylvania sky,
pushing the August darkness through the trees, gently rocking the
trailer, groaning, murmuring, sighing, heavy with the scent of oncoming
rain. It picked up the hurlyburly sounds of the nearby carnival, tore
them apart as if they were fragments of a flimsy fabric, and drove the
tattered threads of noise through the screen that covered the open
window above the kitchen table.
In spite of the wind's incessant voice, Ellen could still hear the
faint, unnerving noises that issued from the bassinet at the far end of
the twenty-foot trailer. Scraping and scratching. Dry rasping.
Brittle crackling.
A papery whisper. The harder she strained to block out those sounds,
the more clearly she could hear them.
She felt slightly dizzy. That was probably the booze doing its job.
She was not much of a drinker, but in the past hour she had tossed down
four shots of bourbon. Maybe six shots. She couldn't quite remember
whether she had made three or only two trips to the bottle.

She looked at her trembling hands and wondered if she was drunk enough
to do something about the baby.
Distant lightning flashed beyond the window. Thunder rumbled from the
edge of the dark horizon.
Ellen turned her eyes slowly to the bassinet, which stood in shadows at
the foot of the bed, and gradually her fear was supplanted by anger.
She was angry with Conrad, her husband, and she was angry with herself
for having gotten into this. But most of all, she was angry with the
baby because the baby was the hideous, undeniable evidence of her
sin.
She wanted to kill it--kill it and bury it and forget that it had ever
existed--but she knew she would have to be drunk in order to choke the
life out of the child.
She thought she was just about ready.
Gingerly, she got up and went to the kitchen sink. She poured the
half-melted ice cubes out of her glass, turned on the water, and rinsed
the tumbler.
Although the cascading water roared when it struck the metal sink,
Ellen could still hear the baby. Hissing. Dragging its small fingers
down the inner surfaces of the bassinet. Trying to get out.
No. Surely that was her imagination. She couldn't possibly hear those
thin sounds over the drumming water.
She turned off the tap.
For a moment the world seemed to be filled with absolutely perfect,
tomblike silence. Then she heard the soughing wind once more, it
carried with it the distorted music of a calliope that was piping
energetically out on the midway.
And from within the bassinet: scratching, scrabbling.
Suddenly the child cried out. It was a harsh, grating screech, a
single, fierce bleat of frustration and anger. Then quiet. For a few
seconds the baby was still, utterly motionless, but then it began its
relentless movement again.
With shaking hands, Ellen put fresh ice in her glass and poured more
bourbon.
She hadn't intended to drink any more, but the child's scream had been
like an intense blast of heat that had burned away the alcohol haze
through which she had been moving. She was sober again, and fear
followed swiftly in the wake of sobriety.
Although the night was hot and humid, she shivered.
She was no longer capable of murdering the child. She was no longer
even brave enough to approach the bassinet.
But I've got to do it! she thought.
She returned to the booth that encircled the kitchen table, sat down,
and sipped her whiskey, trying to regain the courage that came with
intoxication, the only sort of courage she seemed able to summon.

file:///G|/rah/Dean%20R.%20Koontz/Dean%20R.%20Koontz%20-%20The%20Fun%20House.txt
I'm too young to carry this burden, she thought. I don't have the
strength to handle it. I admit that. God help me, I just don't have
the strength.
At twenty Ellen Straker was not only much too young to be trapped in
the bleak future that now seemed to lie ahead of her, she was also too
pretty and vibrant to be condemned to a life of unremitting heartache
and crushing responsibility. She was a slender, shapely girl-woman, a
butterfly that had never really had a chance to try out its wings. Her
hair was dark brown, almost black, so were her large eyes, and there
was a natural, rosy tint to her cheeks that perfectly complemented her
olive-tone skin.
Before marrying Conrad Straker, she had been Ellen Teresa Marie
Giavenetto, the daughter of a handsome, Italian-American father and a
Madonna-faced, Italian-American mother. Ellen's Mediterranean beauty
was not the only quality about her that revealed her heritage, she had
a talent for finding joy in small things, an expansive personality, a
quick smile, and a warmth that were all quite Italian in nature. She
was a woman meant for good times, for parties and dances and gaiety.
But in her first twenty years of life, there had not been very much
laughter.
Her childhood was grim.
Her adolescence was an ordeal.
Although Joseph Giavenetto, her father, had been a warm, good-hearted
man, he had also been meek. He had not been the master of his own
home, and he hadn't had a great deal to say about how his daughter
ought to be raised. Ellen had not been soothed by her father's gentle
humor and quiet love nearly so often as she had been subjected to her
mother's fiery, religious zealotry.
Gina was the power in the Giavenetto house, and it was to her that
Ellen had to answer for the slightest impropriety, real or imagined.
There were rules, an endless list of them, which were meant to govern
Ellen's behavior, and Gina was determined that every rule would be
rigidly enforced and strictly obeyed.
She intended to see that her daughter grew up to be a very moral, prim,
God-fearing woman.
Gina always had been religious, but after the death of her only son,
she became fanatically devout. Anthony, Ellen's brother, died of
cancer when he was only seven years old. Ellen was just four at the
time, too young to understand what was happening to her brother, but
old enough to be aware of his frighteningly swift deterioration. To
Gina, that tragedy had been a divine judgment leveled against her. She
felt that she had somehow failed to please God, and that He had taken
her little boy to punish her. She began going to Mass every morning
instead of just on Sundays, and she dragged her little girl with her.
She lit a candle for
Anthony's soul every day of the week, without fail. At home she read
the Bible from cover to cover, over and over again. Often, she forced
Ellen to sit and listen to Scripture for hours at a time, even before
the girl was old enough to understand what she was hearing. Gina was
full of horrible stories about Hell: what it was like, what grisly
tortures awaited a sinner down there, how easy it was for a wicked
file:///G|/rah/Dean%20R.%20Koontz/Dean%20R.%20Koontz%20-%20The%20Fun%20House.txt (3 of 164) [2/9/2004 10:21:14 PM]
file:///G|/rah/Dean%20R.%20Koontz/Dean%20R.%20Koontz%20-%20The%20Fun%20House.txt
child to end up in that sulphurous place. At night young Ellen's sleep
was disturbed by hideous, bloody nightmares based on her mother's
gruesome tales of fire and damnation. And as Gina became increasingly
religious, she added more rules to the list by which Ellen was expected
to live, the tiniest infraction was, according to Gina, one more step
taken on the road to Hell.
Joseph, having yielded all authority to his wife early in their
marriage, was not able to exert much control over her even in ordinary
times, and when she retreated into her strange world of religious
fanaticism, she was so far beyond his reach that he no longer even
attempted to influence her decisions.
Bewildered by the changes in Gina, unable to cope with the new woman
she had become, Joseph spent less and less time at home. He owned a
tailor shop--not an extremely prosperous business but a reliably steady
one-- and he began to work unusually long hours. When he wasn't
working he passed more time with his friends than he did with his
family, and as a result Ellen was not exposed either to his love or to
his fine sense of humor often enough to compensate for the countless,
dreary hours during which she existed stoically under her mother's
stern, somber, suffocating domination.
For years Ellen dreamed of the day she would leave home, she looked
forward to that escape with every bit as much eagerness as a convict
anticipating release from a real prison cell. But now that she was on
her own, now that she had been out from under her mother's iron hand
for more than a year, her future looked, incredibly, worse than it ever
had looked before. Much worse.
Something tapped on the window screen behind the booth.
Ellen twisted around, looked up, startled. For a moment she couldn't
see anything. Just darkness out there.
Tap-tap-tap.
Who's there?" she asked, her voice as thin as tissue, her heart
suddenly beating fast.
Then lightning spread across the sky, a tracery of fiery veins and
arteries.
In the flickering pulse of light, there were large white moths
fluttering against the screen.
"Jesus," she said softly. "Only moths."
She shuddered, turned away from the frantic insects, and sipped her
bourbon.
She couldn't live with this kind of tension. Not for long. She
couldn't live in constant fear. She had to do something soon.
Kill the baby.
In the bassinet the baby cried out again: a short, sharp noise almost
like a dog's bark.
A distant crack of thunder seemed to answer the child, the celestial
rumbling briefly blotted out the unceasing voice of the wind, and it
reverberated in the trailer's metal walls.
file:///G|/rah/Dean%20R.%20Koontz/Dean%20R.%20Koontz%20-%20The%20Fun%20House.txt (4 of 164) [2/9/2004 10:21:14 PM]
file:///G|/rah/Dean%20R.%20Koontz/Dean%20R.%20Koontz%20-%20The%20Fun%20House.txt
The moths went tap-tap-tap.
Ellen quickly drank her remaining bourbon and poured two more ounces
into her glass.
She found it difficult to believe that she had wound up in this shabby
place, in such anguish and misery, it seemed like a fever dream. Only
fourteen months ago she had begun a new life with great expectations,
with what had proved to be hopelessly naive optimism. Her world had
collapsed into ruin so suddenly and so completely that she was still
stunned.
Six weeks before her nineteenth birthday, she left home. She slipped
away in the middle of the night, not bothering to announce her
departure, unable to face down her mother. She left a short, bitter
note for Gina, and then she was off with the man she loved.
Virtually any inexperienced, small-town girl, longing to escape boredom
or oppressive parents, would have fallen for a man like Conrad
Straker.
He was undeniably handsome. His straight, coalblack hair was thick and
glossy. His features were rather aristocratic: high cheekbones, a
patrician nose, a strong chin. He had startlingly blue eyes, a
gas-flame blue. He was tall, lean, and he moved with the grace of a
dancer.
But it wasn't even Conrad's looks that had most appealed to Ellen. She
had been won by his style, his charm. He was a good talker, clever,
with a gift for making the most extravagant flattery sound understated
and sincere.
Running away with a handsome carnival barker had seemed wildly
romantic. They would travel all over the country, and she would see
more of the world in one year than she had expected to see in her
entire life. There would be no boredom. Each day would be filled with
excitement, color, music, and lights.
And the world of the carny, so different from that of her small town in
Illinois farm country, was not governed by a long, complex, frustrating
set of rules.
She and Conrad were married in the best carnival tradition. The
ceremony consisted of an after-hours ride on the merry-go-round, with
other carnies standing as witnesses. In the eyes of all true carnival
people, their marriage was as binding and sacred as if it had been
performed in a church, by a minister, with a proper license in hand.
After she became Mrs. Conrad Straker, Ellen was certain that only good
times lay ahead. She was wrong.
She had known Conrad for only two weeks before she had run off with
him. Too late, she discovered that she had seen just the best side of
him.
Since the wedding, she had learned that he was moody, difficult to live
with, and capable of violence. At times he was sweet, every bit as
charming as when he had been courting her. But he could turn vicious
with the unexpected, inexplicable suddenness of a wild animal. During
the past year his dark moods had seized him with increasing
frequency.
He was sarcastic, petty, nasty, grim, and quick to strike Ellen when
file:///G|/rah/Dean%20R.%20Koontz/Dean%20R.%20Koontz%20-%20The%20Fun%20House.txt (5 of 164) [2/9/2004 10:21:14 PM]
file:///G|/rah/Dean%20R.%20Koontz/Dean%20R.%20Koontz%20-%20The%20Fun%20House.txt
she displeased him.
He enjoyed slapping, shoving, and pinching her. Early in the marriage,
before she was pregnant, he had hit her in the stomach with his fist on
two occasions. While she'd been carrying their child, Conrad had
restricted his attacks, contenting himself with less brutal but
nonetheless frightening abuse.
By the time she was two months pregnant, Ellen was almost desperate
enough to go home to her parents. Almost. But when she thought of the
humiliation she would have to endure, when she pictured herself begging
Gina for another chance, when she thought of the smug
self-righteousness with which her mother would greet her, she wasn't
able to leave Straker.
She had nowhere else to go.
As she grew heavy with the child, she convinced herself that a baby
would settle Conrad. He genuinely liked children, that was obvious
because of the way he treated the offspring of other carnies. He
appeared to be enchanted by the prospect of fatherhood. Ellen told
herself that the presence of the baby would soften Conrad, mellow him,
sweeten his temper.
Then, six weeks ago, that fragile hope was shattered when the baby
arrived.
Ellen hadn't gone to the hospital. That wasn't the true carny way.
She had the baby at home, in the trailer, with a carnival midwife in
attendance. The delivery had been relatively easy. She was never in
any physical danger. There were no complications. Except . . .
The baby.
She shivered with revulsion when she thought of the baby, and she
picked up her bourbon once more.
As if it sensed that she was thinking about it, the child squalled
again.
"Shut up!" she screamed, putting her hands over her ears. "Shut up,
shut up!"
It would not be quiet.
The bassinet shook, rocked, creaked as the infant kicked and writhed in
anger.
Ellen tossed down the last of the bourbon in her glass and licked her
lips nervously and finally felt the whiskey-power surging into her
again. She slid out of the booth. She stood in the tiny kitchen,
swaying.
The dissonant music of the oncoming storm crashed louder than ever,
directly over the fairgrounds now, building rapidly to a furious
crescendo.
She weaved through the trailer and stopped at the foot of the
bassinet.
She switched on a lamp that produced a soft amber glow, and the shadows
crawled away to huddle in the corners.
file:///G|/rah/Dean%20R.%20Koontz/Dean%20R.%20Koontz%20-%20The%20Fun%20House.txt (6 of 164) [2/9/2004 10:21:14 PM]
file:///G|/rah/Dean%20R.%20Koontz/Dean%20R.%20Koontz%20-%20The%20Fun%20House.txt
The child stopped struggling with its covers. It looked up at her, its
eyes shining with hatred.
She felt sick.
Kill it, she told herself.
But the baby's malevolent glare was hypnotic. Ellen could not tear her
eyes from its medusan gaze, she could not move, she felt as if she had
been turned to stone.
Lightning pressed its bright face to the window again, and the first
fat drops of rain came with the subsequent growl of thunder.
She stared at her child in horror, and beads of cold sweat popped out
along her hairline. The baby wasn't normal, it wasn't even close to
normal, but there was no medical term for its deformity. In fact you
couldn't rightly call it a child. It was not a baby. It was a
thing.
It didn't seem deformed so much as it seemed to belong to a species
ent*ely different from mankind.
It was hideous.
"Oh, God," Ellen said, her voice quavering. "God, why me? What have I
done to deserve this?"
The large, green, inhuman eyes of her offspring regarded her
venomously.
Ellen wanted to turn away from it. She wanted to run out of the
trailer, into the crackling storm, into the vast darkness, out of this
nightmare and into a new dawn.
The creature's twisted, flared nostrils quivered like those of a wolf
or a dog, and she could hear it sniffing eagerly as it sorted out her
scent from the other odors in the trailer.
Kill it!
The Bible said, Thou shalt not kill. Murder was a sin. If she
strangled the baby, she would rot in Hell. A series of cruel images
flickered through her mind, visions of a Hell that her mother had
painted for her during thousands of lectures about the terrible
consequences of sin: grinning demons tearing ragged gobbets of flesh
from living, screaming women, their leathery black lips slick with
human blood, white-hot fire searing the bodies of sinners, pale worms
feeding off still-conscious dead men, agonized people writhing
painfully in mounds of indescribably horrible filth. Ellen was not a
practicing Catholic, but that did not mean that she was no longer a
Catholic in her heart. Years of daily Mass and nightly prayer,
nineteen interminable years of Gina's mad sermons and stern admonitions
could not be sloughed off and forgotten easily. Ellen still believed
wholeheartedly in God, Heaven, and Hell. The Bible's warnings
continued to hold value and meaning for her. Thou shalt not kill.
But surely, she argued with herself, that commandment did not apply to
animals. You were permitted to kill animals, that was not a mortal
sin. And this thing in the bassinet was just an animal, a beast, a
monster. It was not a human being. Therefore, if she destroyed it,
that act of destruction would not seal the fate of her immortal soul.
file:///G|/rah/Dean%20R.%20Koontz/Dean%20R.%20Koontz%20-%20The%20Fun%20House.txt (7 of 164) [2/9/2004 10:21:14 PM]
file:///G|/rah/Dean%20R.%20Koontz/Dean%20R.%20Koontz%20-%20The%20Fun%20House.txt
On the other hand, how could she be certain that it wasn't human?
It had been born of man and woman. There couldn't be any more
fundamental criterion for humanity than that one. The child was a
mutant, but it was a human mutant.
Her dilemma seemed insoluble.
In the bassinet, the small, swarthy creature raised one hand, reaching
toward Ellen. It wasn't a hand, really. It was a claw. The long,
bony fingers were much too large to be those of a sixweek-old infant,
even though this baby was big for its age, like an animal's paws, the
hands of this little beast were out of proportion to the rest of it. A
sparse, black fur covered the backs of its hands and bristled more
densely around its knuckles. Amber light glinted off the sharp edges
of the pointed fingernails. The child raked the air, but it was unable
to reach Ellen.
She couldn't understand how such a thing could have come from her. How
could it possibly exist? She knew there were such things as freaks.
Some of them worked in a sideshow in this very carnival.
Bizarre-looking people. But not like this. None of them was half as
weird as this thing that she had nurtured in her womb. Why had this
happened? Why?
Killing the child would be an act of mercy. After all, it would never
be able to enjoy a normal life. It would always be a freak, an object
of shame, ridicule, and derision. Its days would be unrelievedly
stark, bitter, lonely.
Even the tamest and most ordinary pleasures would be denied it, and it
would have no chance of attaining happiness.
Furthermore, if she were forced to spend her life tending to this
creature, she wouldn't find any happiness of her own. The prospect of
raising this grotesque child filled her with despair. Murdering it
would be an act of mercy benefitting both herself and the pitiful yet
frightening mutant now glaring at her from the bassinet.
But the Roman Catholic Church did not condone mercy killing. Even the
highest motives would not save her from Hell. And she knew that her
motives were not pure, ridding herself of this burden was, in part, a
selfish act.
The creature continued to stare at her, and she had the unsettling
feeling that its strange eyes were not merely looking at her but
through her, into her mind and soul, past all pretension. It knew what
she was contemplating, and it hated her for that.
Its pale, speckled tongue slowly licked its dark, dark lips.
It hissed defiantly at her.
Whether or not this thing was human, whether or not killing it would be
a sin, she knew that it was evil. It was not simply a deformed baby.
It was something else. Something worse. It was dangerous, both less
and more than human. Evil.
She felt the truth of that in her heart and bones.
file:///G|/rah/Dean%20R.%20Koontz/Dean%20R.%20Koontz%20-%20The%20Fun%20House.txt (8 of 164) [2/9/2004 10:21:14 PM]
file:///G|/rah/Dean%20R.%20Koontz/Dean%20R.%20Koontz%20-%20The%20Fun%20House.txt
Or am I crazy? she wondered. No. She couldn't allow doubt to creep
in. She was not out of her mind. Grief-stricken, deeply depressed,
frightened, horrified, confused--she was all of those things. But she
was not crazy. She perceived that the child was evil, and in that
regard her perception was not askew.
Kill it.
The infant screamed. Its gravelly, strident voice grated on Ellen's
nerves.
She winced.
Wind-driven sheets of rain drummed noisily against the trailer.
Thunder picked up the night and vigorously rattled it again.
The child squirmed, thrashed, and managed to push aside the thin
blanket that had been draped across it. Hooking its bony hands on the
edges of the bassinet, gripping with its wicked claws, it strained
forward and sat up.
Ellen gasped. It was too young to sit up on its own with such
assurance.
It hissed at her.
The thing was growing at a frightening rate, it was always hungry, and
she fed it more than twice as much as she would have fed an ordinary
child, week by week she could see the amazing changes in it. With
surprising, disquieting swiftness it was learning how to use its
body.
Before long it would be able to crawl, then walk.
And then what? How big and how mobile would it have to get before she
would no longer have any control over it?
Her mouth was dry and sour. She tried to work up some saliva, but
there was none.
A trickle of cold sweat broke from her hairline and wriggled down her
forehead, into the corner of one eye. She blinked away the salty
fluid.
If she could place the child in an institution, where it belonged, she
would not have to murder it. But Conrad would never agree to giving up
his baby. He was not the least bit revolted by it. He was not
frightened of it, either. He actually seemed to cherish it more than
he might have done a healthy child. He took considerable pride in
having fathered the creature, and to Ellen his pride was a sign of
madness.
Even if she could commit the thing to an institution, that solution
would not be final. The evil would still exist. She knew the child
was evil, knew it beyond the slightest doubt, and she felt responsible
for bringing such a creature into the world. She could not simply turn
her back and walk away and let someone else deal with it.
What if, grown larger, it killed someone? Wouldn't the responsibility
for that death rest on her shoulders?
The air coming through the open windows was much cooler than it had
file:///G|/rah/Dean%20R.%20Koontz/Dean%20R.%20Koontz%20-%20The%20Fun%20House.txt (9 of 164) [2/9/2004 10:21:14 PM]
file:///G|/rah/Dean%20R.%20Koontz/Dean%20R.%20Koontz%20-%20The%20Fun%20House.txt
been before the rain had begun to fall. A chilly draft brushed the
back of Ellen's neck.
The child began trying to get out of the bassinet.
Finally summoning all of her bourbon-inspired courage, her teeth
chattering, her hands trembling as if she were afflicted by palsy, she
took hold of the baby. No. The thing. She must not think of it as a
baby. She could not allow herself the luxury of sentiment. She must
act. She must be cold, unmoved, implacable, iron-willed.
She intended to lift the loathesome creature, retrieve the
satin-encased pillow that was under its head, and then smother it with
the same pillow. She didn't want to leave any obvious marks of
violence on the body.
The death must appear to be natural. Even healthy babies sometimes
died in their cribs without apparent cause, no one would be surprised
or suspicious if this pitiful deformity passed away quietly in its
sleep.
But as she lifted the thing off the pillow, it responded with such
shocking fury that her plan instantly became unworkable. The creature
squealed. It clawed her.
She cried out in pain as its sharp nails gouged and sliced her
forearms.
Blood. Slender ribbons of blood.
The infant squirmed and kicked, and Ellen had great difficulty holding
onto it.
The thing pursed its twisted mouth and spat at her. A viscous,
foul-smelling glob of yellowish spittle struck her nose.
She shuddered and gagged.
The child-thing peeled its dark lips back from its mottled gums and
hissed at her.
Thunder smashed the porcelain night, and the lights in the trailer
blinked once, blinked twice, and lightning coruscated through the brief
spell of blackness before the lamps came on again.
Please, God, she thought desperately, don't leave me in the dark with
this thing.
Its bulging, green eyes seemed to radiate a peculiar light, a
phosphorescent glow that appeared, impossibly, to come from within
them.
The thing screeched and writhed.
It urinated.
Ellen's heart jackhammered.
The thing tore at her hands, scratching, drawing blood. It gouged the
soft flesh of her palms, and it ripped off one of her thumbnails.
She heard an eerie, high-pitched ululation quite unlike anything she
had heard before, and she didn't realize for several seconds that she
was listening to her own shrill, panicked screaming.
