The
traveling carnival is a leftover of a bygone era, a curiosity lurking
on the outskirts of town. It is a place of contradictions—the bright
lights mask the peeling paint; a carnie in greasy overalls slinks away
from the direction of the Barker’s seductive call. It is a place of
illusion—is that woman’s beard real? How can she live locked in that
watery box?
And while many are tricked by sleight of hand, there are hints of something truly magical going on. One must remain alert and learn quickly the unwritten rules of this dark show. To beat the carnival, one had better have either a whole lot of luck or a whole lot of guns—or maybe some magic of one’s own.
Featuring stories grotesque and comical, outrageous and action-packed, Carniepunk is the first anthology to channel the energy and attitude of urban fantasy into the bizarre world of creaking machinery, twisted myths, and vivid new magic.

Das klingt verwirrend und interessant zugleich. Ich weiß nicht so recht, was ich mir darunter vorzustellen habe und will es doch haben! :)
AntwortenLöschenGenau das gleiche dachte ich auch, als ich das erste Mal auf den Roman gestoßen bin ;-) Nur mit dem Unterschied: "und will es genau deswegen haben!" *g*
