#WeirdLove in this bizarre story of a carnival family where parents deliberately cause their children's birth defects in order to attract audiences. Themes question perceptions of normalcy & family love. Aqua Boy, Arty, attracts such a cult following that his fans have their own limbs amputated to emulate him. How far will followers go & what will they give up even to their own detriment? #FeelintheLove @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @eggs

Eggs Bizarre! 2mo

BooksandCoffee4Me That is bizarre! On a related note, I recently learned that my mom-in-law‘s birth mother abandoned her to join the circus back in the 1920s. Really! 2mo

Something Wicked This Way Comes | Ray Bradbury

pick

This book is a masterclass in atmospheric storytelling. It is a work of art that transcends its genre and leaves a lasting impression. Bradbury‘s ability to blend the mundane with the magical, to evoke a sense of wonder and unease simultaneously, is truly remarkable. While it may not be for everyone, *Something Wicked This Way Comes* is a must-read for those who appreciate intelligent, thought-provoking fiction with a captivating atmosphere...

LoverOfLearning I listened to this one on audio. I think I missed out on a lot of a nuances and atmosphere. I hope one day I'll reread the physical edition because it really is a good book! 1mo

I don‘t know how it is that I‘ve never read this before, but it was so good! Not scary, but definitely creepy.

1. Chili and cornbread, pasta with pumpkin sauce, and turkey meatloaf with cider gravy.

2. Excellent book for spooky autumn reading.

I didn't enjoy this book, but I remember several #gruesome scenes. Lots of body horror. A lobotomy scene. Unsettling stuff.

TheSpineView Off to a great start! ❤️📖🎃 6mo
