Can’t Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted here, at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine.

The Merry Dredgers
by Jeremy C. Shipp
200 pages
Expected publication: April 25th 2023 by Meerkat Press
Seraphina Ramon will stop at nothing to find out the truth about why her sister Eff is in a coma after a very suspicious “accident.” Even if it means infiltrating the last place Seraphina knows Eff was alive: a once-abandoned amusement park now populated by a community of cultists.
Follow Seraphina through the mouth of the Goblin: To the left, a wolf-themed roller coaster rests on the blackened earth, curled up like a dead snake. To the right, an animatronic Humpty Dumpty falls off a concrete castle and shatters on the ground, only to reform itself moments later. Up ahead, cultists giggle as they meditate in a hall of mirrors. This is the last place in the world Seraphina wants to be, but the best way to investigate this bizarre cult, is to join them.
Don’t know what it is about this book but I have a secret love for creepy carnival and circus stories. Plus a cult. So I’m in! 🙂
What books are you waiting for?
Have a great day and Happy Reading!

I think I got chills reading the description!
I am very intrigued! I love abandoned amusement parks! Something so creepy about them! I remember as a teen trying to cobble together a story of a nightmare amusement park. I think even back then I couldn’t really work with it, so it was only ever just flashes of moments I wanted to happen! Lol! Definitely adding this one to my list!
Here’s my CWW

A once-abandoned amusement park now populated by a community of cultists. That sounds absolutely chilling!
