Description

"A carnivalesque tale spun in luscious, crackling prose, Freakslaw is the glittery punk offspring of Katherine Dunn's Geek Love and Angela Carter's Nights at the Circus. You know those books you want to roll around in, rub on your skin, and clasp to your heart? Freakslaw is one." --Chelsea G. Summers, author of A Certain Hunger

In this "glittery" and "crackling" horror debut (Chelsea G. Summers), a traveling carnival of troublemakers arrive in a small Scottish town and perform their favorite pastime: revenge.


It is the summer of '97 and the repressed Scottish town of Pitlaw is itching for change.
Enter the Freakslaw--a travelling carnival of deviant queers and architects of mayhem. 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, 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.

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.
