Destiny Makes Fools of Clowns - The Shadow Librarian Presents - PDF

The Shadow Librarian invites you into his forbidden library for a tragedy as cruel as it is poignant.

From birth, Peter Weber was destined to become a clown. Following a family tradition three hundred years old, his father slashed his face to give him the “true clown smile.” Marked for life, Peter grew up under the spotlights, making crowds laugh with his frozen, grotesque smile.

But one day, he falls madly in love with Julia Morrow, a wealthy heiress. For her, he is willing to do anything — even risk a dangerous operation to regain a normal face.

Destiny, however, has a particularly sadistic sense of humor.

A retro pulp horror story, tragic and merciless, where laughter turns into nightmare and destiny mocks without pity those who dare to dream of a normal life.

Served with the biting cynicism of Edgar “Ed” Graves.

Warning: This story is not a comedy. It is much darker than a clown’s makeup.
