About
"Pageant's first charm is its healthy serving of early nineties nostalgia-so many beloved memories returned as I read. I also loved its focus on a deep and meaningful mother-daughter bond, as well as its explosive finale!"
-Christi Nogle,Bram Stoker Award® 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
Tiffany Baldwin is nine years old and already nearly past her prime in the competitive world of child beauty pageants. She loves to sing and dance and perform, but she isn't as cute as she once was, and is realizing just how cruel some of the adults are. Pressure builds as the holiday-themed Pageant of Lights nears, and Tiffany realizes that something is changing about her. Something big, and bold, and terrible. Something that she must learn to control.
Pageant is a psychological pink horror novella that marries the nostalgia of the 1990s with the heart of Little Miss Sunshine and the terror of Carrie.
