Editorial: What a long long long freaky trip it's been
If you've visited the home page, you'll see The Were-Traveler has been on hiatus for a few years. We're baaaaacckk! And we aim to misbehave and be more bitchin' than ever. Our first issue on the new site is resisting a theme that was popular on the old mag, FREAKPUNK. Freakpunk was created by myself back in the day when I realized that while there are more creepy clown stories (Clownpunk) than there are rigged games on the midway, I have not come across many tales penned about the other weird and terrifying folks connected to carnivals and circuses: the carnies, fortune tellers, and yes, the freaks! Thus the genre idea of Freakpunk was born in  my twisted brain. Here lies our offering from the circuses and carnivals, the festivals and fairs, the darkness lies within the funhouses and the freakshows. Beware of having too much fun!
