Little Hands Clapping
Little Hands Clapping | Dan Rhodes
5 posts | 7 read | 5 to read
In a room above a bizarre German museum, and far from the prying eyes of strangers, lives in Old Man. Caretaker by day, by night he enjoys the sound of silence, broken only by the occasional crunch of a spider between his teeth. Little Hands Clapping brings the Old Man together with the respectable Doctor Ernst Frhlicher, his dog Hans and a cast of grotesque and hilarious townsfolk who find themselves involved in a crime so outrageous it will shock the world. From its sinister opening to its explosive denouement, Little Hands Clapping blends lavishly entertaining storytelling with Rhodess macabre imagination, entrancing originality and magical touch.

New reading!
The only thing that I can say at the moment is that the original title is so much better than the italian one!
The italian one translated it would be something like 'The museum of horrors'... no, the original one is so damn perfect! It has a completely different sound 😍

It's about a museum, never named, in Germany. Not often visited, but sometimes people wander through and then leave. Or don't leave. At least not alive. To take a line from the book, this is "a curious mixture of stark, disturbing realism and high camp."

Tamra This sounds like creepy fun. 7y
RealBooks4ever @Tamra I was, at times, feeling incredulous! 😎 7y

*Sick in bed reading.* Not quite ready to throw in the towel and nap, but pushing everything aside in hopes of lighter fare. I've been meaning to read this for ages.

One of the most delightfully strange books I have ever read!
