The Pilo Family Circus Zusammenfassung

The Pilo Family Circus Will Elliott

You have two days to pass your audition. You better pass it, feller. You're joining the circus. Ain't that the best news you ever got?

When a bizarre incident on the road triggers a nightmarish chain of events, Jamie finds himself plunged into the horrific alternate universe that is the centuries-old Pilo Family Circus, a borderline world between hell and earth from which humankind's greatest tragedies have been perpetrated.

Yet in this place peopled by the gruesome, grotesque and monstrous, where violence and savagery are the norm, Jamie finds that his worst enemy is himself - for when he applies the white face paint, he is transformed into JJ, the most vicious clown of all. And JJ wants Jamie dead . . .

The Pilo Family Circus Bewertungen

a bravura performance, a disquieting glimpse into a richly imagined and horribly plausible parallel universe * Financial Times *
I couldn't put Elliott's novel down. It's fantastic . . . An entertaining mixture of Palahniuk and David Lynch * Independent on Sunday *
The plot is full of wonderful grotesqueries and unfolds at a cracking pace. I was enjoying reading this book so much I forgot I was meant to review it. * Sydney Morning Herald *
Inventive, scary and darkly humorous novel has a dash of Stephen King and a hint of Lovecraft but is really sui generis. It may be a true one-off but that doesn't stop me wanting more * Observer *
Elliott's prose is sharp and engaging . . . this intriguing book mixes fantasy with psychological horror to squirming effect * List *
as much surreal poetry as macabre thrills . . . this is a first novel of real promise. At his best, Elliott writes with a power commensurate with the originality of his vision. It is not just that he has unusually nasty visions to put on the page but he has the ability to make us share them * TLS *
