Today’s review is about THE SHADOW DANCERS OF BRIXTON HILL by Nicole Willson. This standalone novella follows Kate as she meets an old family friend to find a new act for her family circus. What she discovers is mindboggling and saddening.

This review is brought to you by my participation in the Speculative Fiction Indie Novella Championship (SFINCS). SFINCS, pronounced “sphinx”, is a yearly competition to recognize, honor, and celebrate the talent and creativity present in the indie community. It’s a sister competition to both SPFBO and SPSFC, and it highlights greatness in the novella format in all areas of speculative fiction (fantasy, science fiction, horror, etc.). I am part of Team Behind the Musings. You can find out more about us here.
