The newest book based on the hit Weird West RPG franchise Deadlands! Step right up to see the oddities and marvels of The Blackstone Family Circus and Travelling Wonder Show! Gasp at pit wasps the size of a mans forearm. Beware the pumpkin-headed corn stalker, lest it plant its roots in you! Annie Pearl is the keeper of oddities, the mistress of monsters. Her unique collection of creatures is one of the circuss star attractions, drawing wide-eyed crowds at every small frontier town they visit. But Annie is also a woman running from her past . . . and the mother of a mute young daughter, Adeline, whom she will do anything to protect. Hoping to fill its coffers before winter sets in, the circus steers its wagons to The Clearing, a remote community deep in the Oregon wilderness, surrounded by an ominous dark wood. Word is that a travelling show can turn a tidy profit at The Clearing, but there are whispers, too, of unexplained disappearances that afflict one out of every four shows that pass through the town. The Clearing has it secrets, and so does Annie. And it may take everything she has to save her daughterand the circusfrom both. A gripping tale of the Weird West, set on the haunted frontier of DEADLANDS, the award-winning game from Pinnacle Entertainment Group.

Mehso-so

With too many towns cancelling on them before winter, The Blackstone Family Circus is left with one option. Head to The Clearing, a remote Oregon settlement rumored to pay well for entertainment, but also many mysterious disappearances.

Setting was fabulous, characters were amazing, & appropriately creepy for Halloween. Narrator was A+! But pacing felt weird, & I‘m disappointed by the inclusion of an element I‘ll mention under a CW. 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑

BookmarkTavern General warnings for body horror, cannibalism, and child experimentation. Specific warnings for chapter 12, the story of the w*ndigo and then references throughout, chapter 22 animal death, chapter 25 off page child death (The use of the w*ndigo with no other indigenous presence on the page makes me feel very uncomfortable.)

There are echos of other McGuire books here, with twins and silence, but that‘s no reason not to read it and hope that, someday, you too can have a cat/mountain lion like Tranquillity. (image from nps)
