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.But 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 . . .Katherine Dunn's Geek Love meets Angela Carter's Nights at the Circus in this sizzling debut by a writer as captivating as she is incisive, as wild as she is precise. Read this and try not to run away with the Freakslaw. Go on. We dare you.
