About the Author

Marilyn Brokaw Hall awoke from a dream and was so touched by it she immediately wrote it down to share with her family. An evil Ring Master of a traveling circus show was collecting children from innocent farm families. As she began to write, and the story unfolded, she followed the clues the Ring Master left for her. First she traveled to Hazard, Kentucky, then to Narrows, Virginia and finally to the outskirts of New Salem, Pennsylvania where he left the biggest clue. Marilyn lives in Central, Ohio near Columbus with her husband, and enjoys spending time with her two adult children.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Marilyn Brokaw Hall is the author of Lights Above Cass, Mothman's Vengeance, and The Ring Master's Secret: A Tale of Witchcraft and Deception. I grew up in Southeastern, Ohio. I enjoy using Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky as backdrops for the diverse and complex characters that I love writing about in my novels. Some of my favorite authors are Charlaine Harris and Jude Deveraux and Steve Augarde, which I collect their books and re-read them over and over. I also adore King Charles Cavelier's, especially the one that sits by me while I write no matter the hour of the day.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Appalachian Gothic
    Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2018
    Like the critically acclaimed Donald Ray Pollock, Hall’s work draws heavily on her lived experience of extreme poverty as a child and young adult living in rural Appalachian Ohio. Unlike Pollock, she addresses themes of childhood trauma, labor exploitation and poverty in a way that is suitable for younger readers in addition to adults. Although Hall paints a freightening picture she never hesitates to find the good in her often complicated characters.

    This book, her first novel, fits squarely in the genre of southern gothic literature. It is an engrossing tale of disappeared children and adults that cannot be trusted. It is about fear and adventure and a longing for home.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Window into the past
    Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    I can close my eyes and see 1939 Depression era Hazard, Kentucy. Marilyn's imagery is extraordinary. I can see the poverty, feel the pain and experience the despair as the Meadows family grieves the loss of their son, Stephan. I can imagine the lore of the panther and the sinister schemes of the evil Ring Master. If you're a baby boomer and you grew up listening to stories from the old days this is a great window into the past. I recommend it. Great read!!

    1.0 out of 5 stars It has potential
    Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2011
    If you're wanting to publish something, you want to get the best product out there. With this book, it wasn't the case. The whole thing is littered with grammatical errors and the organization of the actual story was ridiculous. It has potential, don't get me wrong. Nothing a professional editor won't fix.
