In addition to those Todd mentions (and of course, NIGHTMARE
ALLEY), what about Dorothy B. Hughes' RIDE THE PINK

Some are gruesome.
Likewise, at least the following Robert Bloch works:
"The Animal Fair"
"The Double Whammy"
"The Tunnel of Love"
"The Girl from Mars" (the least of these, but still haunting)
and, particularly for anyone fascinated by THE DEVIL IN THE
WHITE CITY, Bloch's historical fiction about the Mudgett and
the Chicago Fair, AMERICAN GOTHIC.
And, in their collaborative collection PROBLEMS SOLVED, a
nice relevant grace note is struck by Bill Pronzini and Barry
Malzberg's "Another Burnt-Out Case" (like "The Double Whammy"
published during Ted White's editorship of what was initially
Howard Browne's baby FANTASTIC).
