If Stephen King and John Steinbeck had ever collaborated on a project, CARNIVÀLE would have been the result. Midway through the Great Depression, a traveling circus makes its way around the bone-dry US Middle West collecting lost souls as it goes. But here, the world’s strongest man, the bearded lady, the lizard man and the Siamese twins are no freakshow; rather, they represent humanity’s last stand in the battle against evil. With a baroque joy in embellishment CARNIVÀLE plunders the treasure chest of carny folklore using opulent images to establish a wildly imaginative parallel world.
