Literature


: coulrophobia unleashed :

*obelisk666:iconobelisk666: reports, November 12, 2007
Are you afraid of clowns?

What started out as nothing more than a 3-part photo-manipulation series (GIGGLES THE CLOWN, GIGGLES GOES HOME, GIGGLES WAITS TO PLAY) grew over time into a book about a man who, for whatever reason or reasons, snapped into becoming one of the most notorious and gruesome serial killers to ever be forgotten in the annals of human history.

COULROPHOBIA - THE LIFE AND TIMES OF GIGGLES THE CLOWN
written by Brian Clegg - aka *obelisk666

genre - historical horror fiction

Johannes Mauritz Krieg, better known to the world as Giggles the Clown, was one of the most well-known circus performers of the late-19th/early-20th centuries. He traveled all over the world, training under such notable figures as Harry Houdini and the famous circus clown Charles "Grock" Wettach.

He performed in front of the first German Emperor Wilhelm Friedrich Ludwig, and he even served for a brief time in World War I. He thrilled audiences of all ages everywhere with his numerous skills in acrobatics, music, magic and escape.

He was responsible for over 250 grizzly mutilations on three different continents.

This is his story.

Coolness.

Incorrect word here: He was responsible for over 250 grizzly mutilations on three different continents.

You want 'grisly', not 'grizzly'.

Cut me some slack. I just found out that only I can prevent forest fires, and that's a lot of pressure.
