There’s Gloria, fortune teller and worm charmer; her daughter Nancy, a contortionist witch; big-hearted tightrope walker, Werewolf Louie; not to mention illusionists and conjoined twins, Cass and Henry, and tattooed human pincushion, the Pin Gal. Against Pitlaw’s miserably grey landscape, the carnival shines electric and bright, and it doesn’t take long for the town’s teenagers to be seduced by its neon charms and the possibility of escape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut beneath it all, these newcomers are harboring a darker desire: revenge. Revenge for being cast out, never allowed to settle, punished for purely existing. And as tensions reach fever pitch between the stoic, unwelcoming locals and the dazzling intruders, a violence that has been bubbling for centuries is about to be unleashed . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKatherine Dunn’s \u003ci\u003eGeek Love\u003c\/i\u003e meets Angela Carter’s \u003ci\u003eNights at the Circus\u003c\/i\u003e in this sizzling debut by a writer as captivating as she is incisive, as wild as she is precise.
