SYNOPSIS: “Venice, California 1949. They were knocking down the arcade and the roller coaster lay scattered on the ground like dinosaur bones. On the late train back a drunk sat down behind me and whispered of Death between wine-dark teeth. I didn’t turn round. I shivered. I needed a drink. Later I took a wrong turn outside a bar and walked past the canals where the tide sucked through the empty cages of the abandoned circus. In one the body of an old man undulated with the swell like a ghostly lion-tamer. And I screamed.”
