Publisher's Summary

Short Story Press presents "Paid to Scare", by Jasmine Bowen.

Kingdom Come is the most successful amusement park in the country, and every Halloween, the park turns into a haunted event with hundreds of actors to scare guests silly.

  • It’s more than just costumes and makeup and playing make-believe for eight hours a night.
  • Follow Jocelyn and Johnny, the king and queen of Kingdom Come, through a typical night performing at Fright Nights.
  • The scariest thing in the park could be some of the guests they encounter: missing children, illness, pickpockets, and inebriated, violent guests.
  • Being an actor is more than just playing make-believe. As Jocelyn and Johnny get ready for the day, they soothe young performers, deal with personality clashes, and develop keen senses to watch out for danger.
  • Follow Jasper, the youngest performer at the park, a zombie on Rollerblades, as he scares guests senseless and entertains children.
  • Follow Todd, a docile contortionist who considers taking his career in another direction when he gets an offer he can’t seem to refuse.
  • Follow Billy, the childlike clown who never harms a fly, but is harmed himself.
  • Peek behind the scenes as rivalries and clashing personalities surface in the 400-person cast.
  • For the performers of Fright Nights, there is never a dull moment.
