First and foremost, neither of the songs sung by the characters in this tale are orignal works by me. The first is I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls from The Bohemian Girl, and the second is The Phantom of the Opera, from The Phantom of the Opera.
Here's a couple of links to my favourite covers of these songs to accompany this tale.
Second, thanks to my beta readers: Nekromycon, Shio, Sly161, PrimeCore, Varaxous, Wogglebug and BananaRepublic (sorry for not linking). Opinion was pretty spilt on whether or not I should keep the second part of this tale in, but I ultimately decided to keep it. Thanks also to Accelerando for creating SCP-1860, one of my favourite Herman Fuller SCPs, and of course thanks to PeppersGhost for creating the Circus in the first place.
Finally, if you are a fan of this tale series, I just want to make it clear that this is not the end of the series, just this arc. I have four or five more tales I want to post in this series (whether or not they all survive is another matter) and by the time I write all of those I may very well have had new tale ideas.
Thank you all for your readership, and have a Disquieting day.
