Synopsis

The death of an old friend brings Inquisitor Eisenhorn and his companions to Sunsable's Touring Fair, where something sinister haunts the portraits tent. Previously available in the Eisenhorn Omnibus this short story is set between Malleus and Hereticus.

Read it because It's a creepy little story about a seemingly haunted fair which shows that even in the quiet places of the Imperium, Chaos is never far from breaking through and bringing about destruction…
