  • Summary

  • The circus came overnight, but when it left, three boys were dead—and I was no longer human. *** There are contestants from TV’s reality show “Alone” whom you’ve never seen—because they never made it back.

    IN THIS EPISODE: In this Thriller Thursday episode, Stephanie Scissom writes of when a circus unexpectedly arrived in a small city, and along with the fun, merriment and laughter, there was a dark, dreary, and dangerous element. It’s “When The Circus Came to Town.” And, an author who goes by the alias 5yn brings a story of what happened on the set of History’s show, “Alone” - something that they covered up. It’s no wonder he’s writing under an assumed name. The story is simply called, “Alone.”
