Review: THE PECULIAR LIVES OF CIRCUS FREAKS (Multi-Author Anthology)

This is a collection of short stories centered on the circus and the lives of circus freaks. You have lion tamers, gypsies, fortune tellers, shape shifters, and even the bearded lady.

For the most part, they are well-written odd-ball stories with supernatural twists, but I couldn’t really get into some of them as they were so confusing and long-winded. I mean, for short stories, they sure were long.

While I couldn’t get into some of them, others were quite good. The best ones were “The Two Ringmasters” by Liz Long and BJ Sheldon’s “An Apple a Day.”

 

My rating: 3 stars
