The Carousel: And Other Stories
Step onto the carousel, where every turn reveals a new story.
In this collection, Ashton Camelots spins tales of fleeting moments, whispered memories, and the strange magic hidden in everyday life. From forgotten towns where time stands still to quiet encounters that change destinies, The Carousel invites readers into a world where nostalgia lingers, reality blurs, and the ordinary turns extraordinary.
15 short stories
A man follows the sound of a distant melody to a place that shouldn’t exist. A weary traveler steps off a train and into a life that was never his. Snow melts wherever he walks, but no one dares to ask why. These are stories of the invisible threads connecting us all.
Some will leave you longing, others will leave you wondering. Each one will stay with you long after the ride is over.
About the Author
Ashton Camelots is a dreamer at heart and a writer by calling. His debut collection, The Carousel, is a tribute to the quiet revolutions of the soul—stories that spin with longing, memory, and the echoes of things unsaid.
His love for storytelling was sparked at the age of ten, while visiting the Jules Verne Museum with his grandmother. He found himself entranced—not just by the artifacts and adventure, but by the idea that entire worlds could live inside a book. That moment stayed with him, quietly shaping a boy into a writer.
Today, Ashton weaves tales that linger long after the last page. Whether writing about lost love, childhood summers, or the secrets people carry, his stories speak to those who still believe in wonder.
