An aging tennis player tries to come to grips with life outside the spotlight. A small-town doctor embarks on a secret project with terrifying consequences. A penitent schoolteacher endlessly punishes himself for the sins of the modern world. These are just three of the stories found in Circus By The Sea, a collection of short stories by Randall DeVallance. Compiling some of his best published works along with new, never-before-seen stories, Circus By The Sea explores the thin line separating the average person from the outcast.
