A county fair season turns a grim job stranger

Sunday McWhorter takes work with a porta-potty company because its flexible hours and company vehicle help him care for his mother, who has dementia. The job’s practical purpose shifts when missing people and body parts begin turning up in the tanks he cleans. The description frames the mystery through several possibilities—from ordinary crime to supernatural forces—before placing Sunday in a conflict between worlds. Its horror premise brings everyday sanitation work into contact with occult and uncanny elements, while Sunday’s caregiving responsibilities give the setup a grounded personal stake.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Horror readers interested in occult and supernatural premises
  • Readers who enjoy horror built around an unusual workplace
  • Readers interested in stories involving caregiving alongside supernatural conflict

Book overview

Latrine Technician vs. Dark Carnival?

Yep.

After his mother is diagnosed with dementia, Sunday McWhorter needs a job with flexible hours

and a company vehicle. It just so happens that the local porta-potty company is hiring.

The job stinks, but it's a solid paycheck that allows Sunday to take care of his mom. Everything

goes smoothly until Autumn and the beginning of county fair season, when people start going

missing and body parts start being found...inside the very tanks of the porta-potties Sunday is

charged with cleaning.

Is there a serial killer? A human trafficking ring? An epidemic of haunted toilets?

Sunday finds out the hard way when the simple job of vacuuming sewage becomes a tussle

between worlds.
