Lorsque les animaux d’un ancien carrousel rendent une ultime sentence. Qu’un chauffeur sans visage entame une danse macabre avec des motards hors-la-loi. Et qu’un propriétaire d’une chaîne de cafés qui grignote peu à peu les petits commerces se retrouve au milieu de loups. Quand une petite porte s’ouvre sur un monde féerique, qui devient le terrain de jeu de chasseurs assoiffés de sang. Et qu’un homme désespéré décide de conduire un vieux bibliobus pour fournir des lectures aux morts. Lorsqu’une adolescente désœuvrée raconte en direct ses vacances en famille sur Twitter. Quand un frère et une sœur s’aventurent dans un champ pour venir au secours d’un enfant. Et que les passagers d’un avion assistent en direct au déclenchement de la Troisième Guerre mondiale... L’auteur nous embarque dans une odyssée troublante au cœur de la psyché humaine. Avec Le Carrousel infernal, Joe Hill vient sonder nos secrets et nos tourments les plus profonds, et apporte une fois de plus la preuve de son immense talent.
