Greasepaint

David C Hayes delivers a dual-format horror narrative in Greasepaint. The story centers on Michael, the sole survivor of serial killer Reginald Bent, known as Orzo the Clown. Michael attempts to process his trauma through music in his rock band. A new DVD release of the original Orzo the Clown Show disrupts this coping mechanism. The media triggers repressed memories and invites a return of violence. Readers must determine if the threat is the resurrected clown or an imitator with equal insanity. The volume combines a novella with an award-winning screenplay by Hayes. This structure allows readers to experience the narrative through prose and script formats simultaneously. The plot follows the killer as he targets Michael’s acquaintances. The text describes a three-ring circus of terror where anyone known to the protagonist becomes a potential victim. Hayes presents the material as a continuation of the conflict started when the demented clown died. The inclusion of the screenplay offers a distinct perspective on the events. This edition is suitable for fans of supernatural fiction and gothic horror. It may not appeal to readers seeking lighthearted entertainment or non-fiction accounts of true crime.
