Sawdust in the
Blood' used to be a Carnie compliment ... not a description
of a crime scene.
There are a thousand
sideshows playing thousands of small towns in 1936 when the
Knuckles Brothers Show rolls into yet another town, ready to
delight and dazzle the town folk with amazing acts and puzzling
oddities. As they set up their tents they could not know that
within days several of them would be dead, ripped savagely apart
by a seemingly inhuman force, their souls stolen from their
limp and bloody bodies.
Meet Helen,
the owner of the Carnie, drugged out half the time, demanding
all the time ... is she, in her drug-addled haze, the killer?
Meet Virgil, the Strong Man with a weak heart for Zoe, the fortune
telling gypsy enchantress. Meet Ratty, Virgil's friend and the
Snake Handler for the show ... a peculiar young man understood
by few. Meet William Crowley, the Sword Swallower, who, along
with Virgil and Ratty, investigates the mystery, but perhaps
too late to escape the same grisly fate as his colleagues. What
sinister force is slashing its way through this family of performers
leaving a trail of blood and crumpled, torn, soulless bodies
in its wake? Step up, step up, ladies and gentlemen, the show
is about to begin...
