Writer: Angela Atienza
Genre: Horror
Language: English
IMPORTANT: This is a READ-ONLY version. A physical print edition is available upon request. https://dyslexicparanoia.com/contact
Don't laugh unless you mean it.
During fiesta week, a traveling perya (carnival) sets up by the seawall. The Hall of Mirrors draws crowds. A clown named Tuko stamps wrists that burn under chrome. After a laugh contest, sixteen-year-old Adrian goes missing.
Clinic doctor Rori Santos will not wait until morning. With Councilor Jiro Cruz, seamstress Cira, and streamer Lila, she searches stalls, trailers, and the service lanes behind the maze. They find hooks sewn into sleeves, jars of black dust, and dated balloon knots. The town must hold one full minute of silence, break the mirrors, and end the act.
Blood on glass. Balloons that cut. A grin that will not stop.
Set in a coastal Filipino town, Midnight Carnival is a dark, urgent horror about consent, community, and a doctor who refuses to look away.
