I also loved its focus on a deep and meaningful mother-daughter bond, as well as its explosive finale!"" -Christi Nogle, Bram Stoker Award(R) winning author of Beulah ""Wendy Dalyrymple is en pointe with PAGEANT, a wicked little dance number that keeps the tempo building up until its gloriously gory crescendo."" -Brian McAuley, author of CANDY CAIN KILLS and CURSE OF THE REAPER ""PAGEANT upholds Wendy Dalrymple's reputation for fun, accessible and imminently enjoyable storytelling... Perfect pacing and a satisfying plot combine with truly frightening and horrific elements to make PAGEANT another must-read for horror lovers."" - Laurel Hightower, author of BELOW and THE DAY OF THE DOOR
