Ladies and gentlemen, COME THIS SATURDAY, is a dark carnival story about seeking solidarity through a morbid secret, an unspeakable urge. For some people, the darkest deed is their only chance for light. This short story is the creepy carnival tale you've been looking for. Young Evelyn wanders into the travelling carnival's camp, wondering why she is so drawn to these strangers. What she witnesses at the carnival is horrific, macabre, and poor Evelyn is forced to watch it all as an eight-faced clock ticks away her final minutes.

Spring-Heeled Jack is a British urban legend, first appearing in 1837. Eye witnesses tell of a man who could leap several stories in the air with little effort. Some say he could breathe blue fire, others say he lured women out of their homes and attacked them by clawing at their faces. By all accounts he was a thief and a menace. Sightings of Spring-Heeled Jack continued for several centuries and crossed numerous continents, but he has been mysteriously absent from the 21st century. Until now. Spring-Heeled Jack breaks into the houses of two women, brutally attacking them both. Police report that a few items from each house were stolen and neither women were critically injured. His appearance is frightening: dressed in all black with hat, full face mask, goggles, cape, shirt, pants, and boots. He then breaks into an antique store, searching for special items for their energies including a rare glass knife. With the correct combination of objects and energies, Jack can open portals to different times and places. Enter Alice, who works at the store. Jack suspects she herself can open portals and the two develop an unlikely alliance in a search for a portal to a mythological utopia.
