Satan’s Affair, by H. D. Carlton | Free Audiobook

The carnival is her hunting ground

In Satan's Affair, H. D. Carlton introduces Sibby, a woman who hides inside a traveling Halloween carnival where screams are expected and blood is part of the show. Every October, the fair rolls into a new town, and Sibby does what she believes she was born to do. She hunts the demons walking among the crowd, the ones who smell like rot and ruin, the ones nobody else can see.

This prequel to the Cat and Mouse Duet peels back the mask on the villain everyone fears and shows you the girl underneath. Sibby's five henchmen are her weapons, her protectors, and her shadows. They execute her judgment without question, turning the dollhouse attraction into a death trap for those she marks as evil. When a man named Zade arrives smelling of burnt roses instead of decay, her carefully controlled world begins to crack.

Dual narration by Christian Black and Marlaina Garbett captures the split between Sibby's conviction and the reality closing in around her. Black delivers the menace and mystery of the men orbiting her world, while Garbett voices Sibby's fractured certainty with unsettling clarity. Together, they guide you through a novella where justice is subjective, sanity is optional, and the biggest monster might be the one holding the knife.
