The Dark Park is open again.

 Ten cities. Ten kids. One carnival that was never there.

Every summer, the Dark Park drifts into a new city—no flyers, no warnings, just lights in the distance and music you almost recognize. The rides are impossible, the prizes know your secrets, and the vendors never forget your name.

Jade only wanted to kill an afternoon. Marcus just wanted to win a lighter. Kelsey followed a DM. Ten kids stepped through the gate… and each of them left with something they couldn’t explain.

Now it’s ten years later, and the invitations have arrived. Black tickets. Silver letters. Same date. Same place. Same impossible promise:

Finish your ride.

The Dark Park is open again.

And this time, it’s not letting them leave.

For fans of snark, scares, and the kind of carnival you don’t survive without scars.
