Coney Island in its heyday was definitely the place to #GetURFreakOn with its Luna Park amusements, side show attractions & “freak shows.” The tagged book is non-fiction about a Philippines aboriginal tribe that was displayed there in the early 1900s. An interesting & sobering read about their exploitation The bottom 3 are novels set there. I‘ve read Church of Marvels & the other 2 are loaded on my Kindle to get to one of these days.

Prairiegirl_reading Church of Marvels is on my tbr bookcase. I had completely forgotten about it until yesterday! 5y
DebinHawaii @Prairiegirl_reading I liked it so I hope you enjoy it. I just need to get to the other two. 📚📚📚😬📚📚📚📚📚 5y

A Google search brought up the Freaks short story in the Rizzoli and Isles Series. By the article on her website it looks like Tess regretted ever writing this. Plenty of criticism by the sound of it, despite it being free!

Loved this family story, that has a touch of magic and a whole lot of melancholy. Mysterious old books, a crumbling home, complicated families, carnival folk, the ocean.... what‘s not to like!?
This story was written so beautifully. And I was drawn as equally to Simon the librarian's present day tale as he searches to uncover his family secrets, as I was to his ancestor's story of 1700's carnival life. Really lovely. 💕

ValerieAndBooks This is in my TBR! I was actually gazing over to it the other day wondering if I should move it up from the pile it was in 😂! 5y
KarenUK @ValerieAndBooks maybe it‘s a sign! 😂💕 5y

I own a few of these books - very popular in the ‘00 decade, these books showcase odd and bizarre places in each state. I‘m tagging PA, since that‘s my state. Haunted locations, abandoned sites, bizarre buildings, and folklore all play a part. It‘s a fun way to learn a little bit more about a place. #GetUrFreakOn #LilithJuly

KathyWheeler I have the Louisiana one. It‘s a fun one. 5y
KarenUK Great choice 👍💕 5y
Crazeedi Hey PA buddy, this sounds interesting! 5y

I am loathe to call any human being a “freak”, but that was how Joseph (“John”) Merrick was “marketed” for Victorian audiences. As well as this book, his story was told in a sympathetic portrayal by the excellent actor John Hurt.

KarenUK Such a good movie..... 💔 5y
tournevis Good movie indeed. He was also played quite well, very differently, on stage by David Bowie. 5y
Andrew65 @KarenUK John Hurt was so brilliant in this! @tournevis @TheEllieMo (edited) 5y

A scientist creates a hideous ‘human-like‘ creature in an unconventional scientific experiment, thus creating a ‘monster‘.

As soon as I saw the #geturfreakon prompt I thought of my favourite actress - here are 5 of Helena Bonham Carter's films in which she is crazy! #lilithjuly @Cinfhen @KarenUK

catiewithac She‘s my favorite actress, too! I‘ve loved her since A Room With A View 💜 5y
TrishB When they make a film of me I definitely want her playing me 😂😂 awesome. 5y
Caroline2 She used to be my favourite but then I read that she had an affair with Kenneth Branagh when he was married to Emma Thompson. Apparently Emma found out the same way as in Love Actually by finding a bracelet. 😢 it‘s kinda put me off Helena a bit. 😔 5y
KarenUK Love this collage 👍💕 5y
Slajaunie She makes a good crazy. 5y
